Legal Question in Family Law in India
Both petitioner & respondent had filed written arguments to the court.But after going through petitioner's written argument what I (respondent)found that he added something extra cooked up story which was not earlier mentioned in his petition,affidavit or in cross or in his all witness cross.
for example : Petitioner stated now in his written argument that respondent had given her ornaments to her relative on next day of marriage which he never ever mentioned in his petition,affidavit,cross or neither in his witness mentioned in their cross.
1)What should respondent do in such scenario ?
2)There are few such additional new points mentioned by petitioner in his written argument but without any documentary evidence to the court.What is the line of action to be taken by the respondent?
3)My advocate is not willing/ready to do oral argument on next date,so what should Respondent do in such matter?
Please reply

normally , in matrimonial cases, by written argument, you cannot explain your case. written arguments are just copy and paste of pleadings coupled by some cititations, and judge hardly bothers to go through lengthy arguments. so ask ur advocate to argue the same orally also
