Well I have provided my Permanent Address (my parents house) not a fake one. Is it mandated by court to reveal the current address even even the life of the petitioner is on the line.
If your head address has no problem and you are receiving all the letters and correspondence and the same address then you can say that my address is ok and any document sent on this address will be received then there will be no Court order in this regard reveal the actual address
Dear Client,
On such waste point, WS cannot be delayed. Your presence in court or through advocate is sufficient. Your permanent address shall be submit in court. Request the court to close WS and proceed to record evidence.
1) you ought to disclose your temporary address wherein you are presently residing
2) if you are attending court on each date WS can be served upon you in court
3) in alternative it can be served at your permanent residential address
1) If this is situation you provide correct address. That all you know the situation of yoir case in the court so kindly request in the court to send summons on correct address.
if you want to change other information in your petition in addition to your address, you can file an amended petition.
The court send summons to your address therefore you need to put correct address in the court. You need to give court address if you fear your security then in that case you can right to SP and can give an application before court for protection.
See since in court you need to disclose the address since your address is disclosed and service to that is not possible the court can ask for alternate address. Now you can receive copy before court and can endorse on copy of court then there wont be a question of address,
Yes your parental address is enough. Court just requires a address where the said correspondence can be done.
The present address is not being revealed by you as you fear for your life. This fact should be communicated to the court by your lawyer and your lawyer should be supplied with the copy of the ws in the court and he would sign a receiving. This is no big issue. The court must be apprised of such a situation.
Regards
Dear Madam,
When you have submitted your permanent address then Court cannot insist on you to furnish present/current address. It is none of the business of opposite advocate to insist such address. If notices cannot be serviced on your current address, the Court may send such notices on your permanent address or release a paper advertisement and proceed against you ex-parte.
The opposite lawyer has no business to know about your current address.
He can very well give a copy of the written statement in the court at the time of filing the same before court.
You insist your advocate to put pressure on court directing the opponent to file their written statement which is being delayed inordinately for no valid reason.
The dilatory tactics adopted by the opponent can be highlighted before court to get relief.
The address already furnished before court will be sufficient and there is no need to furnish the current address too.
It is none of their business to know about whre you live at present and what you do.
Your advocate can strongly object to such cheap tactics adopted by the opponent just only to harass you by delaying the progress of the case on such petty and silly reasons.
1. you say that you are living with some other person and visit the permanent address regularly and any delivery to the said address will be received. though it is mandatory to share the present address, but you may twist the facts accordingly
