Husband was never accused of adultery but only men who have physical relation with married women. Which is also abrogated now.

But adultery is valid ground of divorce and to claim maintiannce.

Having external affair is personal affair of person. No interfere of employer, still cam complain to higher authority,  disciplinary action can be initiated.

Adultery was once a criminal offence and was punishable. It only punished men for the act. Now it is mo longer an offence. But yes it is still a ground for divorce.

As he is a government official you can lodge a complaint in his department and inform the head and other higher ups of his behaviour. He will be suspended.

It is a ground for divorce an you can demand alimony from him.

1. As you have very rightly yourself pointed out, adultery is no longer a penal offence in India.
2. However, adultery is not something which is legal. Hence, matrimonial remedies are available to you. 
3. The most obvious matrimonial remedy is to seek divorce. However, there are few others which may suit your purpose. 
4. To examine scope of 3, I would require exhaustive consultation session with you first. Only then any further advice can be offered. 
5. I'm willing and prepared, not just to advice, but also to act as your counsel and plead for you before the family Court. 
6. I'm based in Mumbai/Navi Mumbai just as you are, and so it shouldn't be much difficult for you to visit me for exhaustive consultation.

No he cannot be punished for adultery it is just ground.for divorce. 

Divorce is only option.

See if there is violence and cruelty you can filena.domestic.violence case but for adultery he cannot be punished.

Take.divorce and seek alimony and maintenance from.

Yes, under adultery you can file case against him and punish as well.

1) you can file for divorce on grounds of mental cruelty and adultery 

2) you can also file DV case against your husband 

3) adultery is no longer a criminal offence 

If he is well now, the Government canot expect its employees to be doing something which is illegal. You should give a complaint nevertheless. Maybe a fear of bad reputation would deter him.

First, you insert your name on Provident Fund account as a nomination and at the time of retirement hand over gratuity and part PF amount in your and children present.

In this age don't go for divorce..Kindly visit his office and take all information of retirement procedure and full n final amount. Because he is not mentally fit. Try to involve your name and your children everywhere in all accounts and property.

The Rajasthan High Court has ruled that the state government cannot initiate departmental proceedings against a government employee for being involved in an extra-marital relationship.

The single-judge Jaipur bench of the court was hearing a writ petition filed by two police personnel — an inspector and a woman constable — who were suspended in March 2001 for allegedly being involved in an extra-marital affair. The couple, as well as the woman’s child, were also directed to take a DNA test. The court had stayed the suspension order and departmental proceedings till the disposal of the writ petition.

Husband would not be dismissed from service for having extra marital affair 

best option is to file for divorce 

Age of parties is immaterial 

2) court would award you divorce if you are able to prove allegations of adultery 

3) you have to make his lover co respondent in divorce case 

Adultery is a ground for divorce. If you have  the proof and are not willing to live with him there is no reason why the court won't allow the divorce.

Government cannot suspend him for this matter.

No such applications are entertained by government bodies.

You have to create scenario in front the court and you are only the well wishers of him. If you apply for divorce in the court and if court takes time till his retirement and later he fix in his mind not to give any single penny or cash to you which will be laying in his account after 5 years or he may take volunteers retirement. 

Think before 1000 times filing the divorce case as he will be getting huge amount from government gratuity and Provident funds. 

See on ground of adultery along with proof of adultery you can file divorce if he is not ready for mutual divorce though yes it may take 2-3 years to reach to decision.

Warm greetings!!

Dear madam!!

In such case divorce is the only option you can go or you can reside with him amicably. 

However government is no were connected to personal issues and have no right to take action against it ; it's not worth lodging a complaint against him!!

You can resolve the issue amicably!!

Legal fees vary depending upon the lawyer engaged by you 

2) you can claim litigation costs from

husband 

3) seek Rs 25k interim maintenance from husband 

If you have proof of his adultery, court will grant divorce. His objection shall be reject by court. Court cases takes time but you can also claim maintiannce silumtaneously, litigation cost will meet from it. 

Age has no application for filling divorce and wife is entitle to 25% of his net salary or one time alimony.

Both parties have to bear own cost of litigation but you can pray for litigation cost from him. Some amount court will grant but at final disposal of case, till than manage with interim maintiannce.

All the expenses are borne by the husband. The court orders that. An application has to be filed in this regard.

Maintenance should be around 30 k per month.

A lump sum amount ie alimony should be around 30 lacs.

Maintenance will be barred by your husband as it's his right and if you proof that your husband salary is 10k then maintenance will be on higher side..

However filing a divorce petition against your husband is your decision and you have to bare all the expenses of legal and it reach out to around 2 to 3 lakh rupees as legal expense.

If you go for divorce filing:

• If he received summons till court order him to pay maintenance to you and children. In meanwhile period from filing till order (3-4 years) you can't force him pay monthly maintenance money.
• When court passes interim maintenance order from that month you are eligible. Whether he pays monthly or lumpsum after 6 months depends upon him, even here court can't force him because he is not denying to pay any payment.
• Initial you have to bear all legal n court expenses once you win the case court may or may not grant legal cost of winner party. It's sole discretion of judge and situation of facts and figures of the case.
• You and both children including 3 will be eligible for maximum 35% of his net monthly income for monthly maintenance including education expenses and son will be entitled till 18 years and daughter till marriage for maintenance after that it will be stop.
• If you don't want to give lawyer fees for filing divorce case than go for PIP i.e. Party in Person. I will help you from filing the case till pleading the case till final order.

Presently there is no criminal offence and punishment for adultery. Only divorce can be filed on that ground

Dear Madam,

There are few scenario’s which are to be considered while considering the crime and punishment.

1. Married man(A) having affair with another women, who is married and staying with her husband(B). In that case, the B can file the case of adultery against A.
2. Married man(A) having an affair with another women, who is either unmarried, divorced or widowed. In this case no crime has happened.
3. Married women (MW) having the affair with another man(A), irrespective if he is married or not, then the husband of married women can file the case against A.

Now coming for the crime, the case is registered only on the man and not against the women. So there is the punishment only for man. If the man is married, then the punishment is minimal.

Generally, adultery or extra marital affair is seen as the moral wrong.

If you are the wife, and it is your husband who is involved in an extra marital affair, you too have no provision in this code to hold your husband criminally liable for his disloyalty. Unlike in the above scenario, where at least the outsider had a criminal liability, in your case, not even the woman with whom your husband establishes a sexual relationship outside the marriage can be prosecuted under this code.

To understand the legal position of India with respect to the extra-marital affairs, it is important to understand the position of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (IPC).

The IPC in the Section 497 states:

Whoever has sexual intercourse with a person who is and whom he knows or has reason to believe to be the wife of another man, without the consent or connivance of that man, such sexual intercourse not amounting to the offence of rape, is guilty of the offence of adultery, and shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to five years, or with fine, or with both. In such case, the wife shall not be punishable as an abettor.

It is better to  file Domestic Violence case seeking following reliefs:

PRAYER

                HENCE THE APPLICANT HUMBLY PRAYS

1. to take cognizance for the offence punishable u/s 498A IPC and punish Respondent1 to 3 as per law and extend police protection to the deponent,
2. Pass orders u/s 19, based upon S.17, granting separate residence for herself and her three children at a monthly rent of Rs. 20,000/- and advance of Rs. 5,00,000/-.

4. Pass orders u/s 20(i) granting Rs.25,000/- per month as maintenance for applicant and maintenance at the rate of Rs. 5,000/- each per month to her three children.
5. Pass orders granting Rs. 5,00,000/- for setting up house hold requirements, in granted residence, to make it livable, as the applicant cannot return to the house of Respondent1 as he is residing in the house of respondent No. 3, which is legally prohibited,
6. Pass orders granting litigation expenses of Rs.1,00,000/- as the applicant made to wander from pillar to post for getting legal aid to attend the Hon’ble Court, whereas, the Respondent1 falsely filed Divorce Petition.
7. The applicant also filed interim application supported by affidavit u/s 23(1) and (2) of D.V.Act,
8. That any other order/s, this Hon’ble Court deems fit, to meet the ends of justice, be passed.

At this situation after repealing of section 497 IPC adultery is not a criminal offence.

So you cannot take any criminal action against your husband.

Now at this stage divorce is the only option left if your husband is in adulterous relation.

If you have proof then divorce case will not take much time to dispose off.

for expenses of litigation cases can be claimed from your husband through section 24 HMA.

Having an extra marital affairs with another person by your spouse is not a crime, though you cannot claim it to be legal.

In fact having an extra marital affairs by the husband a=with another female who is not a wife of somebody was not a crime even before the law on section 497 IPC was repealed.

Therefore you cannot do anything about it, if at all you are agitated over it then you can leave his company permanently by filing a divorce petition on the same grounds.

There is no law to punish an individual who does such acts as per his desire which is termed as his rights.

Your excitement do not find place in law, you cannot initiate any such action to punish him for his this conduct 

You can file a divorce case if you do not like his conduct or character due to this affairs.

No complaint from you in this regard will be entertained by bis office or the police becasue it is not a crime and it can be termed as his own and private affairs which do not harm or hamper his service.

Hence you may decide what next

The divorce is the only option before you since you cannot tolerate this anymore.

But you may have to collect evidences for his extra marital affairs and they should be substantial because he should not deny that and the court should not dismiss your divorce case for want of proper and substantial evidence.

No doubt the divorce case may take at least three to four years to get disposed but you cannot help it.

If you file the divorce case it is you who have to pay your lawyer his fee.

The lawyer fee can be known from the lawyer who you may be engaging.

You can file a maintenance case also along with your divorce petition and also a separate maintenance case under section 125 cr.p.c. and also under domestic violence case.
