If she is on your side now, enter into a compromise and get this matter settled by approaching the Court on strength of the compromise.

At this stage, neither they would have cancelled your passport; nor issued a look out notice. However, to ascertain the exact situation, one will have to inquire at the Police Station and/or inspect the file of the Court.

2) if no show cause notice is issued your passport would not have been cancelled

3) you can find out from police station where FIR is lodged as to whether any LOC is issued against you

4) if court has directed issue of LOC you can find out from court records as to whether LOC is issued

Dear Sir

We need to look into the case papers. The orders must be issued from the court only. As there is case filed against you we need to have case details to verify that file and check is there any order to that effect.

We need to take anticipatory bail in case required.

Feel free to reach us for any assistance.

Your passport is never cancelled by FIR. FIR is just a allegation and nothing is proved. No need to check about the same.

No- Dont take tension

- As per the judgment of Delhi High court , If a criminal case is pending against a person the passport office can't cancelled the passport .

- The court said a passport can be impounded only in "appropriate cases" where cogent reasons have to be given in writing by the RPO.

Specially , in a matrimonial cases like 498A , or section 125 Crpc , the court never issue such type of order against the accused husband , otherwise, if heinous offence has not committed by the husband or his family.

Resolve the matter in dispute after coming to India , and the police is bound to give bail if you assist the investigation.

For 498a police have to file chargesheet Or a final report in the court. You need not to be worried while travelling in India your passport will not be impounded and you will go back again you maybe asked by the Court to provide security that you will be appearing in the Court when he will be required in connection with the case

Issuance of LOC on registration of 498a is hardly done, much less, at such early stage.

So you may continue with your plan to travel to India which is otherwise necessary for taking bail.

You will have to wait till submission of chargesheet to know for sure who will be chargesheeted.

Hello,

You may file an RTI and ask the police station as to whether the LOC has been issued or not.

You may ask some of your relative to file an RTI here in India and get the required information.

In which city the FIR has been filed?

Regards

1. How can she lodge the police complaint in India against your harassment when you stay abroad?

2. Had she file any police complaint against you at your place. if at all she stayed with you there?

3. However, since FIR has already been registered against you, you shall have to apply for and avail anticipatory bail from the Court. first and then contest the case fittingly.

4. You can very well arrive at India since passports are not impounded on the ground that wife has lodged police complaint u/s498A of IPC.

5. After the 498A case is disposed of, you can file a police complaint u/s211 of IPC against your wife for lodging a false complaint against you for causing damage to you.

Hi, the same may be known through your parents and the IO of the case. You are suggested to file the Quashing of FIR.

Just merely on the basis of her complaint the police cannot initiate action nfor LOC.

The LOC can be issued only after the charge sheet is filed and the summons sent to you are returned

Then also the police should seek permission from the District collector to issue LOC

It is not a joke that they will jump into this decision straight away on receipt a complaint against you.

The police or even court has not powers to confiscate or cancel your passport for this reason.

You can travel to India by consulting your advocate.
