Hello,

If the HC granted you stay, which is to be expired due to recent order of the SC then ask your lawyer to file an application for extension of the stay order.

Divorce in USA will not ipso facto make the proceedings in India vitiated.

In India the quashing petition has to be filed to quash the FIR if already done and chargesheet is filed file a discharge application before the trial court.

Further the divorce granted in US is not valid in India if not on ground mentioned in Hindu marriage act or mutual consent so in file for divorce in India

Dear client,

Act committed out of india, indian courts has no jurisdiction to trail of such offences.

You should apply for quash of FIR.

1. From your query it is not clear as to who are you representing to answer 'what should we do now?'.

2. However, the decree of divorce passed by the USA Court is not valid in India. The husband herein shall have to file a divorce suit in India on acceptable ground like cruelty.

4. The husband and his family members shall have to contest the cases filed by the wife in India fittingly by engaing a local lawyer having expertise in this field.
