Hello,

Such agreement which is depicting just one side of the story will not stand as a valid evidence in the court of law.

You may just say you signed the same under coercion and you ultimate aim was to save the marriage.

You should not get worried about such agreement which has been signed by you.

They cannot blackmail you on the strength of your old photos with your ex or on the strength of the one sided agreement that have coerced/forced you to sign.

The agreement on the bond paper that they have made to sign you, is nothing but a piece of waste. Any agreement which is completely one-sided is vague in itself.

You need not worry about your old photos that they have with them or the agreement on bond paper which you have signed with them.

Dear Sir,

Law says any self incriminating documents taken under force cannot be enforced against such person. So I try to convince that the so called writing in the said bond cannot be written by any prudent person. Thus presumption can be raised by the Court that it was taken under duress and putting you under threat and thus blackmailing you. Nothing to worry. It cannot be used against you. More detailed discussion on phone.

1) document signed by you is valid and can be used against you in court

2) your wife cannot file case of adultery against you

3) only if your wife has extra marital affair can you file case against her for adultery

4) wife can use these pics and document signed by you in DV case

5) do not bow down to black mail tactics .

6) record your wife abuses

7) you should carry on intelligent correspondence with your wife under guidance of lawyer to extract your self from mess you are in at present

The bond paper is valid and can be used against you in the Court of Law.

Though the bond is signed by you under threat if the bond is produced in court you have to prove your case that you have signed the same under what circumstances.

Hi,

Any stamp paper signed for the purpose of emotional blackmail does not have anyway leave it in the Court of law.

But above all you need to be very careful in your domestic matters and in future avoided signing any documents of such nature.

1. Any admission written under forceful circumstances or pressure has no force of law.

2. So whatever you haves stated whether those are true to false will be of little importance if it can be established that it was executed under coercion and force.

3. DO not worry as on the basis of old photo nothing can be done and if they make the photo viral then they would be guilty of committing cyber offence.

4. So if you or your ex gf lodges any complaint with Police the police can register a FIR and arrest your wife or in alws.

5. Hence it is advisable to resolve the disputer amicably by way of reconciliation or mutual divorce.

No FIR can be lodged for these facts.

The content of the agreement that are one sided are sufficient to prove that you have signed the agreement by force.

No, you cannot file a FIR either against your wife or in-laws in the present matter.

If they have been blackmailing you, you must record(audio/video) all such conversations where you are being threatened with false and fabricated. This evidence will be very helpful for you to be used in future.

You can file a case of extortion against inlaws under 384 ipc. also note that the bond you executed has no value in court of law. As per your own statement you stated they took bond demanding seperate home that itself is ground to prove extortion and mental cruelty to file divorce case.

You dont worry about the photos what your father in law is possessing

He cannot do anything with it, if he is trying to spread false information about this then you can file a defamation case against him.

The conditions agreed to in the Rs. 100/- NJS paper is not enforceable in law and you can always claim that it was forcibly signed by you.

If she is not returning to the matrimonial fold and keep putting all unjustified conditions then yo may make a call accordingly either to continue this married life or to quit it by filing a petition before court seeking dissolution of your marriage with her.

You can very well say that the signature in the non judicial stamp paper was forcibly obtained from you.

Your denial of the contents will get the document nullified.

If your father in law is continuously threatening you then you may contemplate to lodge a criminal complaint against him in the local police station.

The question is do you want to take legal action against your in law and wife?

If yes then, don't be afraid of getting ur image malign by your in law or wife with the proof

You and your parents can file a criminal case in court explaining all the above and ask the court for punishment for them as they blackmailed you
