If it's a Domestic Violence case, then you need not worry, they will not arrest you. Since you will not be Respondent 1, You need not go there also. Hire the same lawyer as your Brother-in-law and tell him to inform you if at all your presence is required.
Your personal presence is not necessary
2) you can engage lawyer to appear on your behalf
3) file detailed reply denying allegations made in the complaint
4) DV cases take 6 years to be disposed of
5) you can file application for discharge as there is no shared household and you are staying separate from your brother and sister in law
You have to approach the High Court and file a writ petition for quashing the FIR.
Considering facts of FIR the High Court may quash the FIR or provide the stay on arrestbtill the final report or charge sheet
Hi, kinldy explain that wether the notice is from court or from the investigation officer ???If the notice is from court or police officer then you should go for joining the investigation
If you have received a summons I would advise that you appear at all costs
Sir it would be better that you engage an advocate on your behalf and further the advocate can file exemption on your behalf and seek time for.reply and can collect documents.
Appear through a lawyer if you/your wife cannot appear personally.
Seek time to file a reply.
