❓ Frequently Answered Judicial Questions

2 Answers
Is a foreign divorce decree automatically valid in India? ▾
No. Under Section 13 of the Code of Civil Procedure (CPC), foreign decrees obtained ex-parte without submission to jurisdiction, or contrary to Indian matrimonial law, are invalid in India. Advocate Karan Dua helps clients either ratify or challenge such decrees.
Do I have to travel to Delhi to attend court hearings? ▾
In most cases, physical travel can be avoided. Statements can be recorded securely through authorized court Video Conferencing (VC), and all physical filings are handled through a designated Special Power of Attorney (SPA).
