You will be in a thick Soup if you dont attend your case in Gujarat.
oops! I am not in agreement.
In fact Domestic violence is not a criminal matter. it is a civil remedy. One need not appear in person on every date of hearing, if he is lawfully represented by counsel. For any specific query if the court wants then only appeance is required.
am in agreement with Mr. Arya here. unless the orders of court restraining the respondent are violated, no punitive measures are adopted. hire a good lawyer n defend yourself.
