Yes different appeal can be filed against different orders, since all orders were different in nature though arising out of same set of facts.

Different reply to each appeal has to be filed, since all the appeals arises from different cause of action.

Appear and tell the court that the appellant is not complying with the order of the court and is misusing the process of the court by preferring such appeals.

1. All Appeals filed against different Court orders should be replied appropriately paragraph wise which will not be the same but based on similar grounds.

2. No body should be restrained from preferring Appeals and in the instant case the Appeals are againsrt different Court orders.

3. Argue for dismissal of all his Appeals.

Yes he can file appeal in all the orders of lower court as it is his constitutional right to do the same. You can file a single reply if all the said matters in appeal are before the same judge in Appellate court and with the permission of the said judge to do so.

1.Since cases are different you will have to file separate reply in all those 3-4 cases. Howeevr since the contention will be almost same you can file same contents in all the three replies though filed separately.

2.Against every order a new appeal arises.however once you show the misuse of this provision by your husband to avoid paying you maintenance the appeal would be dismissed for sure.

3. Place the desperation of your husband to avoid amaintenance.You will get justice for sure.

1. Session Court certainly has the jurisdiction to hear the appeals on merits.

2. The Session Court shall examine whether the Court lower has committed any error in law and/or facts while passing the said ex-parte order or not.

3. You shall have to contest the said appeals fittingly. Since it is an ex-parte order, you shall have explaining what error the court lower has committed in passing the said Order despite contrary statement has been made by the applicant in her application.

Hi,

You may file reply for all the orders as the cases are linked to each other by praying the court to listen all the cases together.

Non compliance of the decree by husband will lead the cancellation of the bail and he would be sent to jail for contempt of the court.

Advice you to comply the order for the time being and pray for further relief.

(1) Can I file Common Reply to Appeal No. 2, 3 and 4 which is against three Orders in the same sec 31 case. - The appeal is all about non-compliance of the JM's order, therefore without going through the pleadings, counter and order, do not reply as common.

(2) Whether such type of repeated Appeals are allowed against each Order in same case

If orders are different, then appeal is allowed.

Please Guide to remove confusion and tell what can be technical Reply to these three Appeals No. 2 , 3 and 4 - Technical will not help, it is only the facts which will come to you aid for non-compliance. Explain the facts and circumstances leading to non-compliance of the order.

In such case whether the Session Court have jurisdiction to do critical examination to ascertain whether the shared house is shared house or not ? As it has been admitted in your pleadings, no critical appraisal is required.

1. Common reply cannot be filed as the appeals are separately registered.

2. In DV Act every order of the magistrate can be appealed against. Every order is open to appeal. No party can be stopped from filing an appeal which is a statutory right.

3. Only your lawyer can draft as he must have perused the appeals. Without perusing the appeals we cannot tell you what the defence has to be.

(1) Can I file Common Reply to Appeal No. 2, 3 and 4 which is against three Orders in the same sec 31 case.

You cannot file a common reply together to all the appeals.

You have to file reply separately to each appeal based on the grounds of appeal in each appeal

(2) Whether such type of repeated Appeals are allowed against each Order in same case

It is the court to decide but you can very well strongly object all the appeals.

(3) All the 04 Appeals are pending and tomorrow is the last date for final arguments

You equip your advocate with sufficient material information

In such case whether the Session Court have jurisdiction to do critical examination to ascertain whether the shared house is shared house or not ?

You have expressed your feelings and your own opinion to the case.

It is not necessary for the court to answer to your opinion.

The court will take action as per the provisions of law.

You wait for the judgment by the sessions court in the appeals preferred before it.
