An fir must have been registered and the police must have either arrested you or you got an anticipatory bail. Now the charge  sheet would be filed and the trial would commence. There would be arguments and evidence would be produced in the district court. A judgment would be passed based upon it.

Police will investigate and call you to record statement. Since, bail is already granted, no arrest until fresh charges book against you.Well, nothing to bother, no such arrest will call now once bail granted.

If police files charge sheet, court will grant regular bail by filling bonds.

yes under 340 crpc

The Single Bench has held that when a wife misuses women-centric laws by declaring completely incorrect facts, the trial court can direct her prosecution, at the time of considering the case, under Section 340 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

In the instant case, the petitioner wife had made an application seeking maintenance for herself and her son. She had submitted an affidavit, wherein she had declared herself a housewife having no source of income. Later, her husband moved an application to the trial Court contending that his wife was earning Rs. 40,000 per month and had produced false evidence on oath. The trial court, accordingly, directed the initiation of prosecution against the wife under Section 195 read with Section 340 of CrPC for committing offences under Sections 191, 192 and 193 of the Penal Code. The High Court noted that the action can be taken under Section 340 of CrPC when it is expedient in the interests of justice, and the impact on the administration of justice by misuse of women-centric laws would make it expedient for the trial Court to direct the prosecution. The Court further added that the trial court had elaborately discussed the law and applied the said law to the facts to hold that the petitioner has not stated the correct facts on oath.

Hi, 

After charge sheet filed by police, you just need to get the bail from trial court itself after filing bail application to continue previous bail and bail bond. If you wish you may approach high court for quashing of case as well as FIR.

- Since, you got bail from the High Cout, so, no need to worry for further harassment from the female side,

- After compeleting the investigaton, now I.O of the case will file Charge sheet before the concerned Court and trial will start , where you will be given chance to clear your case , otherwise charge will be framed. 

- After the said charge framing, you will have to represent your case and produce your evidence against the said complaint of the Female . 

- Now, if you think and having evidence/proof in your support that the FIR filed by the Female is false and baseless , then you should approach High Court for Quashing the said FIR under section 482 CrPc.

- You can also file and FIR against the said Female for blackmailing or for filing a false 498A case against you people. If, after receiving your complaint , the police refused to register FIR against the said Female , then you can approach to higher police official or to the Court for the same.

- If the said Female has left her matrimonial home and went back to live with her family, then you can file a case for  restitution of conjugal rights against her under Section 9 of Hindu Marriage Act.

- If you think that she has file a baseless case against you people , then you can also file a Defamation Case against her for maligning your image by filing a false 498A case.

 

Good Luck and dont forget to positive Rating .

1. After the grant of bail the case will still proceed ahead. Now investigating officer will complete the investigation and then file his final report or chargesheet. 

2. You have the option to either file a petition for quashing of FIR in the High Court or face trial after charges are framed.

3. Nothing concrete can be said unless the FIR is perused.

1. Since you have got bail, surrender yourself in the lower court and get the AB regularised by the Magistrate.

2. Thereafter till the Charge Sheet is submitted you may wait and after submission of CS the court would frame the charges and thereafter it would try the charges.

3. All these processes to end would take time.

you can approach the High Court for quashing of the FIR. Next if your wife does not want to stay with you then you try for amicable settlement and after settlement approach the Family Court for dissolution of marriage by mutual consent.

Once the charge sheet is filed before court, you may get a notice from court to appear before court and then the trial will begin.

In that there will be a initial questioning by court for the charges against you.

Then the witnesses will depose evidence after which you can cross examine the witnesses and then the matter will be posted for 313 questioning after which if there is no defence witness, then it will be posted for arguments and disposal.

Police will start their investigation where they will collect evidence as well as record statements of all the parties concerned. Thereafter they will prepare charge sheet it and file it in court. if no case has been made out against you after investigation, they can also file closure report.

Dear Client 

If somehow you can prove that the case was forged then you can file a defamation case against the lady. 

And the next there will be stage of framing of charge and then followed by statements of prosecution witnesses after charge.
