WRITTEN STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF DEFENDANT
Most respectfully submitted-
Preliminary Objections:
- Admitted the fact of marriage of petitioner and respondent on (__/__/____) in _______________ (name of the place). (If the fact of marriage and date/ place are true)
- Petitioner’s allegation that the respondent can’t manage to bring petitioner with him, because of certain voluntary reasons, as the respondent was not having any negative motive of conducting any type of incidence against the petitioner, and wanted to complete his final studies, so here it becomes circumstantially wrong misconception from the petitioner’s side.
- Petitioner’s allegation that the respondent remained detached from the family for 23 years, as there was many issue which the respondent has to face after going abroad and he lost his phone and was not able to manage for a new one, because of the economical status, and where he came to know that the number of petitioner was too changed.
- Petitioner’s allegation that the respondent had three children out of his second marriage, the married woman was already having her children subsistence by her first marriage, and her husband has left her, thus an attempt to commit adultery, however does not amount to adultery, hence it is wrongly misinterpreted by the petitioner.
Allegation of Adultery is a serious charge. It is required to be proved beyond reasonable doubt and not by mere preponderance of probabilities.
The Defendant therefore prays and counters claim:
That it may be declared that the said deed of settlement be declared null and void as against her and that the same day by order of this honorable court be cancelled. This suit be dismissed with cost.
