Hello sir,

You may approach the court for anticipatory bail before meeting the investigation officer for your safety .

) Section 420 of IPC is non bailable case but bail is granted subject to conditions and circumstances.

Supreme Court has said that the party who breaks the alliance has to pay up for the costs incurred.

This ruling came into force after SC ruled in favour of an aggrieved girl from Thane, whose marriage was called off and penalised the Delhi boy to reimburse the cost incurred during the engagement party by her. The girl’s family had filed a case under Section 420 (cheating) of Indian Penal Code (IPC) against the boy and his family in Thane. The father and son sought anticipatory bail. After mediation proceedings, they were asked to pay Rs 1.50 lakh to the girl’s parents.

Dear Sir,

Please see the following judgment of SC

===========================================================================================

Refund cost if you call off engagement, says SC – FIR Quashed.

New Delhi: After three years of litigation, a Delhi man's family realised on Friday that breaking a marriage alliance after enjoying the engagement party made them liable to reimburse the cost.

In 2012, a government doctor finalized the marriage of his son, who was in the real estate business, with a girl from Thane in Maharashtra. The 'roka' (engagement ceremony) took place in Delhi on June 8, 2012. The girl's parents spent lavishly in entertaining the prospective groom's family and friends.

But the boy's family later called off the alliance claiming that the girl's family had suppressed facts about her. Infuriated by the turn of events, the girl's parents filed a case under Section 420 (cheating) of IPC against the boy and his father in Thane.

The father and son sought anticipatory bail from a Thane court, which after mediation proceedings asked them to pay Rs 1.50 lakh to the girl's parents towards the expenses they incurred on the ceremony. The boy's family claimed they had spent Rs 4.50 lakh for the ceremony. But the trial court asked them to compensate the girl's family.

The boy's family paid up but the girl's family did not withdraw the case. The boy moved the Bombay HC seeking quashing of the case. The HC refused, saying a case of cheating was made out.

Appearing for the boy's family in the SC, senior advocate Rana Mukherjee told a bench of Justices J S Khehar and Arun Mishra that once the girl's family was compensated for their expenses, there was no question of any cheating in the matter, which was a case of a prospective matrimonial alliance going sour.

You should content thos before police see cards were printed both sides both sides faced monetary loss and it was there stand to back off marriage this all can be conveyed to police and issue can be settled.

Further now they are doing this so that they can extort there losses from you. So you can also present your losses before police or can file a cross FIR citing your losses.

Then take the plea that you were not engaged to the girl

2) since girl did not want to marry you the talks did not proceed further

Dear Sir,

Then your case is more strong. Nothing to worry.

Firstly, the proof that you are having is sufficient to save you all from their false allegations.

Secondly, but yes that would come later on when you get a chance to lead evidences.

Thirdly, there are chances that when you go before the police officials they may arrest you also.

Fourthly, I ask you to not to go to the police station but file an Anticipatory bail.

My father has been served a notice under IPC 420/406 to appear before the siliguri police Investigating office within 7 days now. What should we do ?

Since this is an out state issue, the Siliguri police may not listen to your father's oral statements made through phone, they may insist him to be present there after which they will book for the offences mentioned in the FIR without even making any inquiry nor giving him an opportunity and may get him remanded to judicial custody inside a jail.

Therefore it is better that your father obtain AB and then visit the police station for inquiry and not before that.

Dont worry about the time stipulated by the police, you can obtain AB and then attend the police station for inquiry or investigation.

As I have mentioned in my question earlier, there was no engagement or for that matter any social event. It was just a verbal understanding and cards were printed.

There is no law to punish anyone for cancelling the marriage proposal but it would be on a different offence only, hence all your arguments can be made before the court and not before police, they will not listen to even a single word from your mouth in this regard.

1) You give attendance in front of ASI and provide all details that you're also nlt in fault and all mistakes are from their side.
