1) file complaint with anti corruption Bureau Sir Pochkhanwala Road, Worli, Mumbai.

2)As per para. 6 (i) (ii) and 7 of ACB manual, ACB officers except Mumbai unit collects evidence prior to lodging FIR. In short they starts investigation and completes major portion of investigation even prior to registering F.I.R.

3) in the complaint enclose evidence in your possession regarding employee carrying on business in wife name but all decisions are taken by him

govt servant wife was partner in your business

2) although instructions may have been given orally by govt servant on paper wife was partner

3) if any money is due and payable under the contract you have to invoke arbitration clause against wife who owes you money

4) your suit against husband would be dismissed as he was never partner in your business

You cannot hold him liable if the business or the partnership deed is not in his name.

There is no bar on a government employee's wife/spouse doing business.

If he has personally cheated you in his own name then you may initiate a criminal complaint agaisnt him.

want to file case in court not in acb

Consult a local lawyer and discuss the strategies to trap this person so that he will come down to negotiations and solves your problems or settles the amount due to you.
