• Caveat filing

I am party in person. EC passed order in favor of me on MA filed by TP. Therefore, I wish to file Caveat in Mumbai HC in anticipation tgat TP may file revision petition in High Court Mumbai to challenge the said order. 

My question

2. Whether affidavit is required with the Application

3. Can I file Caveat online

4. If online provision is not open then whether presence of caveator is mandatory (If I don't appoint any Advocate). In this case, I can send by post with fulfilling all required compliances : Such as identification of caveator, Notarized application etc

1. If you anticipate any revision petition that is likely to be taken up against you, then you can very well file the same as a party in person.

2. The affidavit need to be filed since you are filing it as a party in person. 

3. Yes you can file caveat petition through online procedures too. 

4. Only filing by online is permitted, if the caveator's presence is insisted by court because he is filing it as party in person,  then you may have to decide about it.

Dear Client.
1. Filing in individual capacity: As a party in person, you should be able to file a Caveat in your individual capacity.
2. Affidavit requirement: Typically, an affidavit is required to be filed along with the Caveat application. The affidavit should contain relevant details and facts related to your case. It's important to consult with a lawyer to ensure that the affidavit is prepared correctly and includes all necessary information.

3. Online filing: The Mumbai High Court may have provisions for online filing of Caveats. You can visit the official website of the Mumbai High Court or consult with a lawyer to check if online filing is available and the procedure for doing so.

4. Presence of caveator: If online filing is not available or if you choose not to appoint an advocate, you may be required to physically submit the Caveat application and supporting documents. In such cases, it's advisable to visit the court registry in person or send the documents by post, ensuring that you fulfill all the required compliances, such as identification of the caveator and notarized application.
