contested section 9 case take years to be disposed of 

ask your lawyer to appear on your behalf and file reply in section 9 petition for RCR that you are willing to stay with him provided he provides residence near children school and stops harassing you 

3) if you do not show up, the court can pass an ex-parte (one-sided) decree in his favour. He will then use that decree in your Section 125 case to argue, "Look, the court ordered her to come back, but she refused without reason," which could severely hurt your maintenance claim

4) draw attention of court to fact that he cannot claim he wants a happy marriage while simultaneously suing to strip you of your property rights.

Such tricks don’t work in courts the court will decide the application on merits of the case

1. The petition filed under section 125 Cr PC is different to that of the section 9 HMA petition, let him file anything, you may concentrate on your relief, don't get distracted.

2. Don't get confused unnecessarily, the different cases filed before court are for different reliefs, you may handle each case on its own merits 

3. Don't be under misguidance, you can appear in the restitution case besides handling the maintenance case, you should not have your own judgement.

The court will pass suitable orders in each case on the basis of the merits in each case.
