1. This should be a summon from Court, it a matrimonial case that your wife could have filed against you. This could be a divorce, RCR. maintenace case, or an application under DV Act or a summon in a private complaint before the Magistrate.

2. File a counter case against your wife, after seeking legal advice. Also, to defend the case filed against you by your wife.    

1. It definitely is not 498A, as 498A is penal (criminal) provision, for which you would have received summons from police station and not court notice. 
2. What you have got, most probably is a notice of family court, where your wife might have filed a matrimonial petition. Matrimonial petitions are always civil I nature and not penal. 
3. As to what actions you should take, well you have to defend yourself in the matrimonial petition. I'm prepared to defend you as your Advocate. 
4. You need to visit me with that notice if you intend to appoint me as your advocate

Do not avoid the court notice.  It would be of no help. Authorise someone to collect the notice if you can not come and collect. Go through the notice and engage lawyer to deal with it. 

You may inform  main contents of the notice after you receive it, here for further advice.

Dear Sir,

1. What it can be? If it's 498a , it should come as a letter from police. Why court notice?

Ans: It cannot be 498A. It may be notice from family court for divorce claiming divorce on the ground of impotency with further claiming huge alimony/compensation.

1. I need to go for sure I know. But what should be my actions after that?

Ans: you have two options. You go and receive it or you can give power to the advocate and who collect certified copy of the same from the court. Nothing to worry. But if you do not receive it ex parte orders for monthly maintenance may be granted.

Dear Sir,

First thing first, you cannot stop a women from filing complaint under Section 498-A, 497 or 406 IPC.

That doesn't mean you cannot protect yourself from misuse of it, below are the few ways:

1. PROVE THEY HAVE INTENTION TO IMPLICATE YOU FALSELY. This is done by preparing any proof which can suggest that the allegations against you are pre-planned by wife or in-laws.
2. RECORD COVERSATIONS OR THREATS Any phone recording, video RECORDING of the threats.
3. START INVESTMENT IN WIFE'S NAME Start a PPF account or any investment in your wife's name and pay it through your bank account soon after the marriage. Or give loan to your in laws.
4. REPORT TO POLICE OF FALSE IMPLICATION Any apprehension of false implication can be reported to police and keeping a copy of the same. A phone call at 100 no. Can also come handy. This should be done as soon as you get the apprehension. Ideally before the complaint by wife.
5. ANTICIPATORY BAIL move it as soon as possible. In Delhi courts are very liberal prove Criminal offence has two component:

A) Criminal act.

Prepare documents which suggest you cannot ask for dowry.

B) Criminal intent. Prepare documents which suggests you cannot have any intention to ask for money.

497 IPC is adultery, very difficult to prove the allegation. The wife may require very strong proof e.g. Video recording of the act, so be careful.

1. See it can be Domestic violence case or may be annulment or.divorce .

2.Ss you should take the notice as they have willingly given that address so that matter goes on exparte if you don't appear.

If its registered AD summons than it will delivered to you if the summons is on your name.

If it could have sent by normal post than it could have delivered any person from your family.

So do not worry let it may go back or return to sender.

1) wife may have file petition for RCR or maintenance 

2) better collect court notice and check contents of the notice 

3) engage a lawyer to appear on your behalf 

Hi

Stay calm, we know that, it is to easy.

First check with the post master, the senders details, based on which you will get some clarity.

Collect the notice then work out modalities.

It could be a notice from court informing you about date of hear in the case(s) filed by her.

In all probability it might be notice for your appearance pertaining to case(s) filed by her i.e., DVC, Sec.125 CrPC, or Divorce.....

After collecting the notice you can take the final call. 

If you have any information about the 498-A filed by her, immediately obtain Bail.

Good Luck

Hi,

At this stage, don't anticipate anything, first receive the notice and after that, post your query again mentioning details about notice. Then only, you will receive appropriate legal opinion. 

Regards 

That may be notice from court in case under section 12 H. M. Act or 13 of Her. M. Act

She might have filed domestic violence complaint against you. 

You can check from ecourt by party name from which court that was and which petition is filed against you

the court will not issue second notice. you have to appear on the said date yourself or take help of counsel and collect the paper. if you failed to appear the court will pass the order hearing one side.

immediately file section 9 RCR consult local family lawyer. 

You need to take anticipatory bail in the same first. Then you can attend the court

Section 25 of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, provides for a permanent alimony and maintenance to the wife and children in case the husband and and wife continue to live separately irrespective of the fact whether their divorce petition has been accepted or rejected

you must engage lawyer and file detailed reply denying allegations made against you 

3) you can make application in family court calling upon wife to produce her income tax returns, salary slips , bank statement for last 3 years 

4) if wife has suppressed material facts about her income and court directs her to produce her income tax returns she would not get any reliefs of maintenance asshe is earning Rs 40 k per month 

Hi

The provision pertains  to permanent alimony and maintnence.

You need to hire services of a local lawyer and contest the same.

Issue notice seeking details of her educational qualifications, designation, pay slip & ITRs for last 6 years.

In case if she fails to respond, you can make an application through court for  production of said information.

If you can prove and establish her mis representation, you will certainly get relief and her case does not stand.

As far as her allegations are concerned, you need to prove her wrong.

Dear Sir,

Nothing to worry. You can call for salary certificate of her through court. Section 25 is as follows. If you do not attend the court then court may pass ex parte interim maintenance. You must protest the same.

============================================================================

She is seeking maintenace from you. Besides, she has instituted some proceedings against you under the Hindu Marriage Act. It could be a RCR petition or a divorce petition. 

Dear

It is the case under section 25 of Hindu Marriage act as per your follow-up question.

It is a case for permanent alimony and maintenance to your spouse.

The immediate course of action is that you need to appear in court personally or through your pleader to put your defense.

Yes she can lie in court but for getting information you can file RTI application in Income tax department for getting detail of her ITR. And produce it in court. 

My pleasure thanks ? that's my duty. 

You should file a divorce petition against her. 

It's unfortunately that the lawyer she had engaged he is not aware about section 14 H. M. Act  in that anyone I. E husband or wife can file divorce petition within one year of marriage if there is exceptional hardship. 

You can say that she raised such an allegations that caused mental cruelty and it is impossible to live with her if you want divorce. 

she filed a case against you for maintenance then explain in that. 

Court will direct her to produce her ITR in that it will be proved that she is working and you can move an application under section 340 crpc against her and she will be punished in accordance with law

Exactly need ground of her petition for proper reply

You can send here 

If you have her PAN then you can get her ITR

1.  She might have filed a case under any of the following:

     DV case  or

     Maintenance case   or

     Petition for annulment of marriage,

hence better arrange to get the notice or engage the services of an advocate and clarify the same from court itself directly through the advocate.

2.   First of all ascertain what it is and then decide what can be done on it.
