seperated in 1987.My wife has instituted a divorce
proceedings against me.An out of court
settlement demand is for three and a half million
Sri Lankan rupees to be paid before the 20th of
August 2001, or else face a court proceeding
where the demand is for 7 million Rupees.Do the
courts in Sri Lanka have jurisdiction over an
Indian who has not been to sri Lanka for the last
13 years. What would happen if I fail to appear in
