1. Whether or not they have sought bail can be ascertained only from the court. To find this out you should seek the assistance of a local lawyer who will be able to keep you in the loop.

2. Your query is silent on what fraud has been committed by him and how it is linked to your marriage. His service report can be produced in the court to prove his criminality.

3. He has no right to assault you whoever he might be. If you have been assaulted by him then prosecute him in accordance with the law. You will require proof of the fraud committed by him.

1)anticipatory bail will have to be taken by your in laws from bangalore only as FIR has been registered in bangalore .

2) you can verify from sessions court whether any such application has been made . your lawyer will do the needful . as per latest SC judgement when FIR is lodged accused have to attend police station for recording their statement . if prima facie case is made out police will submit report to magistrate . your inlaws would be granted AB if they apply to sessions court

3)if your FIL in law has assaulted you then you should have immediately filed police complaint against him . obtain a medical certificate as to nature of your injuries

4)your FIL suspension has no co relation with your 498A case .

5) if your FIL had cheated you and your family members then file complaint of cheating against him .

You can get information from the District Court or High Court in Bengaluru about bail of your in-laws.

If they got already bail then you can file a Criminal Revision petition for cancellation of bail in Bengaluru High Court.

1. If you contact the Investigation Officer then you will come to know whether they have got the bail or not. Even on perusal of the 498A case record will give you this information.

2. In the 498A case his previous acts of fraud is not of much importance just now. During your evidence you can produce such proofs. In those fraud cases you can not take any action but in your own case you can bring those proofs but at the time of your evidence only. Try to get certified copies of his past cases including order of his jail remand.

Where the crime was committed ? Is it in Chennai or Bangalore.The legal position where FIR is registered in respect of crime committed outside Banghalore and where no part of the offence has been committed within the jurisdiction of Bangalore that such FIRs should be transferred to the State concerned and also there should be no refusal of registration of FIR. In all those cases where there is a refusal of registration of FIR, even where cognizable offence is reported, disciplinary action should be taken against such police officers. The Courts are unnecessary being burdened with complaints or writ petitions, where directions are sought for registration of FIRs.”

So Better to meet the investigation officer(Circle inspector of police ) and enquired about you case position.

Father in laws previous acts of fraud is not of much importance it may only consider secondary evidence .

Hi,

If they have obtained anticipatory bail, they should have reported to the police station where the complaint is lodged by now.

If they have applied to anticipatory bail and is pending, the police will still know as prosecution seeks case dairy from police. So please enquire in the police station.

Alternatively you can check in the court by referring FIR number if there is any anticipatory bail petition is pending.

Please feel free to contact me if you need assistance in checking the status in court.

Thanks and regards,

1) SC has directed police not to automatically arrest when a case under Section 498A of IPC is registered but to satisfy themselves about the necessity for arrest under the parameters provided under Section 41 of criminal procedure code".

2) since notice has been issued under section 41 A of Cr P C and your husband in laws have failed to appear police have powers to arrest your husband/in laws subject to orders passed by court .

3) you wont be entitled to your father service report .

1. No, they have to file anticipatory bail before Bangalore High Court or session Court, or without arresting they can not file regular bail before court.

2. You may file an Application under RTI before the department and get the same.

An arrest is the act of depriving a person of their liberty usually in relation to the purported investigation or prevention of crime and presenting (the arrestee) to a procedure as part of the criminal justice system. The purpose of an arrest is to bring the arrestee before a court or otherwise secure the administration of the law.

India has a well-established statutory, administrative and judicial framework for criminal trials. Cr.P.C. is a comprehensive and exhaustive procedural law for conducting a criminal trial in India, including the manner for collection of evidence, examination of witnesses, interrogation of accused, arrests, safeguards and procedure to be adopted by Police and Courts, bail, process of criminal trial, method of conviction, and the rights of the accused for a fair trial.

The police officers are more vigilant for arresting the accused person after the judgment pronounced by the supreme court of India in Arnesh Kumar vs State Of Bihar & Anr on 2 July, 2014 .

No arrest can be made because it is lawful for the police officer to do so. The existence of the power to arrest is one thing. The justification for the exercise of it is quite another. The police officer must be able to justify the arrest apart from his power to do so. Arrest and detention in police lock-up of a person can cause incalculable harm to the reputation and self-esteem of a person. No arrest can be made in a routine manner on a mere allegation of commission of an offence made against a person.It would be prudent for a police officer in the interest of protection of the constitutional rights of a citizen and perhaps in his own interest that no arrest should be made without a reasonable satisfaction reached after some investigation as to the genuineness and bona fides of a complaint and a reasonable belief both as to the person’s complicity and even so as to the need to effect arrest.

So never think about the in laws arrest and its procedure, Conduct the case in proper way to prove that you had to cause grave injury or danger to life, limb or health from in laws and husband s act. Such cruelty consists of

(a) willful conduct by her husband or relative of husband of such nature as is likely to drive you to commit suicide or cause you grave injury, or

(b) harassment to coerce you into meeting dowry demands.

1. Why would they report to police for bail? Bail whether AB or Regular is to be sought from the court. How does the question of regular bail even arise in this case at pre-admission stage? As I said previously, you should engage a local lawyer to ascertain whether they have sought bail or not. The casual attitude of police is well know, so do not rely on them.

2. You can take recourse to RTI to get the necessary details.

1. Your rapport with the local police station at Bangalore enabled you to register the said FIR anginat your husband and inlaws for dowry harassment which took place at Chennai,

2. Are sure that FIR has been filed by Bangalore Police? Have you received the FIR No.? In fact the said FIR should have been filed at appropriate police station at Chennai where the cause of action took place,

3. If your husband and inlaws have not have not reported to the Bangalore police station then why is Bangalore police not making investigation and finally arresting them?

4. I find some thing is amiss as it is not clear to me as to how Bangalore police has registered FIR against a crime committed at Chennai. However, more details are required in this regard,

5. As per latest Supreme Court Order, police will not make any arrest against 498A complaint without making investigation,

6. So, ask your IO at Bangalore police station to investigate in to yourr complaint and make arrest of the accused, provided FIR has really been recorded at Bangalore police station,

7. His general behaviour or behaviour with others has nothing to do with your complaint of dowry harassment.

1. They have to take bail form jurisdictional magistrate, i.e., in Bangalore. I guess they have not yet approached the court for bail. (there might be chances that the bail petitioner may be still pending)

2. You can file application to call for those records once the case comes on trial. Depending on the merits of your application, judge decide on the same.
