1) It is always better to engage a prudent and experienced lawyer to deal with such issues instead of handling the matter as party in person.

2) The court cannot take decision as per your fancies and whims. The court will conduct trial, hear both the parties and will decide the case only on merits.

3) If that lawyer 's fee found to be exorbitant, you may discard her and choose another lawyer who will be ready to handle the case at lower and reasonable fee suiting your pocket.

4) First take Anticipatory bail and then challenge the case wen it comes for trial on the basis of merits on your side.

5) First prove it to be a false case and then think of filing a defamatory case against he defacto complainant or against police.

My opinion on your queries are as under:

1) Do I need to hire some big lawyer in such a case which is obviously false?

Opinion: Its depend on you that you are comfort with the big lawyer or not, as per my opinion you have to contact a lawyer in district court and fight the case on merit.

2) Can the court simply go through the documents and dismiss the case without a need for a lawyer just hearing the case from the accused and the victims?

Opinion: Its depend on the case, it is complaint case or State case? what is the stage of the case?

3) I talked to a lawyer and she is asking for Ninety Thousand for the entire case, which to me seems pretty straight forward! Is this amount fair?

Opinion: Its depend on your capacity, the fees may be 50,000/- and fee may be 5 lac, if you are satisfied with her fee then it is ok otherwise contact some other.

4) What can be counter measure in such a case where ladies are involved (hawker , her daughter, her daughter in law) from this turning later on as they can file any kinds of cases?

Opinion: try to settle the matter amicably with them with the help of the lawyer, mediator and other society members, it will be better.

5) If this is proved a false case what measure can be taken to punish them for putting in false cases?

Opinion: You may file a criminal defamation case against them u/s 499/500 of IPC.

you may file a criminal complaint u/s 182 of IPC against them before court for malicious prosecution.

you may also file a civil defamation against them before civil court and claim compensation as per your status.

you may contact personally or over the phone after pay the consultation which is very nominal

1. A case which appears to be false has to be proven as false. So engage a lawyer for your defence.

2. No the court cannot outright dismiss the case.

3. You must understand that lawyers are free to charge any fee they desire. For the same case the fee of different lawyers may be different. So there is nothing such as 'fair fee' when it comes to lawyers.

4. The counter measure can be a protection order issued by the court.

5. If the case is proved as false you may prosecute them for defamation and also filing false charges against you.
