Legal Question in Family Law in India

I got divorce from District Court, and my wife filed First Appeal to high court against the judgment. It is now more than six months the case has been pending in the High Court. Can I submit an urgency petition on the ground that I am an NRI now? Somebody told me only the petitioner can file urgency petition. We, being the respondent, can't!!

there is nothing called urgency petition. the application u/s 151 of civil procedure code needs to be filed for early hearing of your matter and speedy disposal of appeal. even a respondent can go for an early hearing application. talk to your lawyer regarding this. you may visit my website www.karvai.in for further guidance.
