Legal Question in Family Law in India
Divorce and Maintainance
I filed a case U/S 498A in my
native state at WestBengal. My husband filed a divorce case against me at his place at Delhi. So I filed a mainainance case u/s 125 at my native place at WestBengal , which is now waiting for hearing.
Now , can I able to file a case u/s 24 for litigation charges
at the same court of westbengal or I have to go Delhi where my husbands divorce case is pending , to file the case u/s 24 ?
Here cases are filed in two different state and litigation charges u/s 24 are -- one for maintainance case at westbengal
another for divorce case at Delhi . Please clarify .

Yes,you can file application u/s.24 of HMAct in divorce case.
Re: Divorce and Maintainance
The application for litigation charges u/s 24 has to be filed in the main divorce case only, and not independently at WB.
You can however file petition in SC to trafer all cases pending in another court to WB.
Re: Divorce and Maintainance
You should seek transfer of your Delhi case to WB courts by approaching the Supreme Court of India by way of a Transfer Petition;
If your TP is allowed, you shall be able to claim litigation expenses as also maintenance from WB courts.
if you do not file TP or if your TP is not allowed, then you will be required to claim mainteance u/s 24 from the Delhi court.
