2) No, they will not, unless some material gets deleted in the process.

3) You can complain about any damage, as the police is supposed to take care of the object seized.

4) She can not withdraw the case be email or just sending a scanned copy. All the sections are not compoundable.

5) Your destroying the evidence on advice of her parents can not constitute an offence. You can file an FIR on basis of criminal conspiracy on part of her and her parents to hide her own wrongdoings.

6) It can be done by the relatives of the aggrieved as well.

7) You can file for quashing only after two months as the IO must file the charge sheet within 60 days of FIR provided you are able to make out sufficient ground.

1. If the laptop has been produced as court property, then you may have to apply or wait till the disposal of the case, if not then you can file a petition

under section 451 OF Cr.P.C FOR RETURN OF PROPERTY

2. The police may take it up to the FSL who may decide the action to be taken for extracting the information from the laptop, so anything may happen

3. The police may even break the property but will claim innocence, you cannot do anything, dont agitate, first try to get out of he case without any danger.

4. Whether complaint sent by email or lodged in person, the case once registered has to under go the process of law, she cannot withdraw the same as per her fancies.

5. You have to gather evidence to lodge any complaint as proposed without which your complaint may not be entertained.

6. You have to put pressure on her for cooperating with you to file a quash petition or you can inform her that you would file counter case against her which may hamper her marriage as well as return to abroad.

7. Complaint can be lodged from anywhere but only with the concerned police.

8. You can apply for quash but she has to cooperate for getting the FIR quashed.

1) you can include the incident mentioned by you in your counter FIR

2) counter FIR had to be lodged where cause of action has arisen

3) don't lodge it from another state

4) both parties can compromise and FIR can be quashed

1. You can add in your complaint that her father threatened you by calling you to a hotel along with some anti social elements, dont mention police presence, because it may not be effective and may even draw an adverse impact to your complaint.

You have done a blunder by visiting the hotel on his call. You should have avoided the same because you wont know what his plans would be behind this move.

2. 2. Your counter complaint in a different place may not be entertained by that police owing to the jurisdictional point of view. It is better that you lodge it in the same police station.

3. It depends on various factors and circumstances.
