Re: Skipping court hearing

Thanks for referring an interesting question of law involved in the matter. I had carefully gone into the facts narrated by you in your reference.

For the counseling session , both the parties are to be present before the court. If you any urgent work and you can not attend the session, you can request the court through your counsel. If somebody appears on your behalf to address the court , you can not be proceeded ex-parte.

In case you find any difficulty, please don�t hasitate to recommunicate your problem.All possible assistance will be provided you.
