1. To modify existing court orders in Mohali’s District Court, you need to file an application under Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act 1955, if it’s related to maintenance, or under Section 26 for child custody issues. You must clearly state the reasons for seeking modifications and provide supporting documentation such as evidence of change in income, health issues, changes in child’s needs, etc. The application should be filed in the court that passed the original order.
2. The success of your application depends on the merits of your case and the evidence you present. If there has been a significant change in circumstances since the original order was passed, the court may consider modifying the order. Precedents can be helpful but each case is decided on its own facts and circumstances.
3. The court generally allows modifications in orders if there has been a material change in circumstances. These could include changes in income, health conditions, the needs of a child, etc. To increase the likelihood of a favourable decision, you need to present strong evidence of such changes and how they impact the original order.
4. The time taken for the entire process varies depending on the complexity of the case, the court’s schedule, and other factors. It could take anywhere from a few months to over a year. Delays can occur due to various reasons such as adjournments, non-availability of judges, etc. Expedited proceedings are rare and are usually granted in urgent matters.
5. If your modification request is denied, you can file an appeal before the High Court within 30 days from the date of the order. In an appeal, you would need to show that the lower court made an error in its judgement. New evidence can only be presented if it was not available at the time of the original hearing despite due diligence.
6. Preparation for court proceedings involves understanding the legal issues involved, gathering all necessary documents, and preparing to answer questions about your case. You should anticipate questions about the changes in circumstances and why they warrant a modification. It’s important to be truthful and consistent in your responses. Consulting with a lawyer can help you prepare effectively.
