Hi

In reply to your  query No.1 - She can withdraw the case.

No.2 - She can file other cases viz., Dowry harassment case (Sec.498-A), Domestic Violence Case, Divorce Case and / or maintenance case ( if you have children - maintenance / custody of them also).

No.3 - Oppose the withdrawal of case by her by making a written representation (for record sake only).  Allow her to withdraw the same.  You can use it as a defence against the aforesaid cases if she files.  This is blessing in disguise for your.  Obtain certified copies of all the documents at lease minimum two sets each.

No.4 - Your formal opposing is enough.  Since you have filed your counter, going by the contents she might have realised that her case does not stand test of law, as such, she is intending to withdraw.  Thus, use her RCR & your counter in your defence and to prove you are not guilty.

No.5 - You can file civil & criminal defamation, but the  same does more harm than good. 

Therefore all said and done, you use her RCR & your counter to your advantage when she files others cases against you & your family.

Good Luck.

  1. As per the information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that she now wants to withdraw the case as she knows that she can’t prove the allegations.
  2. Yes, she can’t withdraw like this at the stage of evidence.
  3. You should challenge the same under section of 151 of CPC praying before the court of law to not to allow her to withdraw the same or if she wishes to then she should state in order that she won’t be filing any false cases against you or your family members.
  4. It is the discretion of the court to allow her after furnishing certain conditions, but generally court doesn’t use their inherent power as per section 151.
  5. You just make sure that the same gets dismissed if not allowed with conditions.
  6. After the dismissal, you might not be able to file defamation case as this is not considered in public forum but surely can file suit for compensation for metal trauma.
