1) in your evidence affidavit you have to state your case as stated in your written statement . Deny her allegations

2) you don’t need to mention citations in your affidavit

3) affidavit should be brief and to the point . Don’t file long affidavit

1. Sir the allegations para wise can be denied in your reply to her petition, in the affidavit you can give evidence of event , conversation between from your side, other evidence from your side relating to dispute her allegations can be denied in a line.

2. Citations are not mentioned in the evidence affidavit they are given with the written statement or at time of argument.

3. Yes that has be mentioned along with supporting documents.

4. If you have mails, messages. conversations regarding the dispute to support your side need to be mentioned in affidavit.

1) You can deny your wife's all allegations point by point.

2) Yes, that you rights to show citation so the case can be turn in your favour.

3) Its great if you give all details income and expenditure, so it will help you in granting her alimony.

4) Is our wife working or she is house wife ?

Firstly, sir whatever you have mentioned in your query is very rightly pointed out to point by point denying all the allegations of your wife.

Secondly, though evidence can only be given by way of an affidavit before the court, but I don’t think that it should need each and every details for denial.

Thirdly, as it the work to be done in the written statement of your pleadings.

Fourthly, if you have not then try to mention as whole being wrong and false in affidavit also.

Hello,

Affidavits are not written statements so you need not to state each and every details of the case .

But you should deny all the facts in a short way which ypur lawyer will guide you but it is not a good idea to drny all the allegations in a single sentence.

There is delhi hc judgement where court laid down a notable judgement relating to highly qualified wife asking for maintenance.

Yes you can do it.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Dear Sir,

My answers are as follows:

2) I need to give Citation in Affidavit for a HC order which denies maintenance to highly qualified wife. Can I mention the citation in Affidavit with some paragraph from citation in the Affidavit content?

Ans: Affidavit should not ordinarily contain citations. But if you cite one or two it is ok. Others to be cited at the time of final arguments.

3) I am also giving Income-Expenditure Details in the Affidavit.

4) Apart from above 3 points, what else can be mentioned in Affidavit?

Ans. Order 8 and its rules are exhaustive on this matter.

1) Shall I deny Wife's allegations point by point as there are around 36 paragraphs of made up story? My advocate suggested me to use one liner in Affidavit to deny all her allegations in single point. Will it be okay? One of the allegations is of Abortion.

you have to deny each and every allegations. Its the rule of the pleadings that you have to deny each and every allegations. One liner denial will not work in civil cases.

2) I need to give Citation in Affidavit for a HC order which denies maintenance to highly qualified wife. Can I mention the citation in Affidavit with some paragraph from citation in the Affidavit content?

- you can submit the citation in the court at the time of arguments.

3) I am also giving Income-Expenditure Details in the Affidavit.

ok

4) Apart from above 3 points, what else can be mentioned in Affidavit?

state what you have to in your defence rather than only replying.

1. the denial of the allegations made by your wife against you has to be made in the written statement to her petition and NOT in the affidavit of evidence

2. in the affidavit of evidence you have to state the facts as they stand and support such facts with documentary evidence which will accompany such affidavit of evidence

3. there is no need to cite any HC judgment in the affidavit of evidence

4. that judgment can be used at the time of final arguments

5. you just need to give all the details supporting your case in the affidavit of evidence which are consistent with your pleadings and which would controvert the allegations made by your wife (that does not mean that you give one line para wise reply to your wife's petition - that has to be done in your written statement as stated above)

Dear Client,

Content of Affidavit not suppose to condemn her affidavit in chief, this happens in reply to petition.

Your affidavit will bear your points to prove your case against her and repudiate her claim.

Bring all facts in affidavit,

Citation not in affidavit but was be mention reply. You can submit the citation while final argument.

That is ok giving details of income.

You need to deny specifically all the allegations.Dont deny it in general paragraph. You can give citations. You can give your income expenditure statement also. You can mention any thing you want in addition which you like to place it on record as evidence before court.

Evidence affidavit forms a very strong document in any proceedings.. kindly put everything in full detail and not one liners. Of course you can deny your wives claims but the same needs to be mentioned fully in detail.

1.In your evidence by way of affidavit, you'll have to state your version of the story, also denying her major allegations. It needs to be concise, unlike Written Statement. One liner denial is highly ill advised.

2.You don't need citation in your affidavit.

List of judgments that you're relying upon csn be given at the time of Final arguments.

3.Income expenditure details can be mentioned in the affidavit.

1. You can give counter to all the points they have alleged against you, because that will benefit you during cross examination.

2. Dont submit any citation at this stage, you can submit them during argument stage.

3. You can discuss with your advocate on this.

4. As above.

1. HC would definitely consider your new income as your wife also as evidence for the same and maintenance would be decided according to the new income.

2. If depends as to how your advocate argues your case in HC.

1) HC can increase maintenance amount if wife is able to prove your income has increased

2) you have to file affidavit in HC in reply to appeal filed by wife

3)if wife is working gather her income details to avoid increase in maintenance

In reply to her appeal, you can file cross appeal and additional evidence like income-expenditure details in court and it`s already in lower court record so no need.

Court will considered her argument, than depends, it can also decrease on your plea.

The new income detail may not be considered in the appeal or revision by high court.

It depends on how you defend your interests in the appeal through your lawyer.

Sir,

It depends upon the judge and also facts presented before the court at the relevant time.

It may consider your new salary and direct you to pay enhanced amount to your wife even though she may be earning her own money.

If. HC directs you to place your new income expenditure details only then otherwise you yourself shouldn't be doing so
