Better file another FIR in same police station u/s 182 for filling false case, submit your proof of stay other than in laws place.

Intention is just to trouble you.

Dear Madam,

To avoid registration of FIR against them they might have lodged false complaint. You can wait for getting charge sheet to be done.

They want to file a counter case against you, so that you do not throw them out of challenge.

They have done this to so to ensure that pressure that you have built upon them subsides.

- Since, you have filed cruelty case under section 498 A/504/34 IPC against them , so, they are facing consequences for the same.

- They have to take bail from the court , even after  filing of charge sheet they will have to appear before the court with their respective suruties. Otherwise NBW will be issued.

- Hence, as a counter blast they have filed complaint against you.

- No need of worry for the same, you can also lodge your complaint to the police for threatening and harassment as well .

- Out of dowry case, you can file petition under domestic voilence act against them as well.

 The remedy in law is available to both the parties it is not only available to one party as you have already filed cases under Section 498 a and 504 of Indian panel court definitely opposite party will find some cases and you and things will be clear by the police investigation

This tye of harassment case is mostly not serious in nature and done to pressurise you to make settlement in the dispute.

So this case at most be a complaint case u/s 200 of crpc and if that is so then there is nothing to get worried at all.

If it is  NCR then also there nothing to do much as the case would be closed at police station itself.

They have just filed the complaint. Harassment simplicitor against woman is not punishable under any provision, more so when the complaint is filed by husband. Police will not lodge the FIR.

They have lodged the said complaint as a counter blast to your complaints.

They are forcing you to come to settlement. 

You demonstrate and prove to the police during relevant time as alleged by them you were not present there etc., to disprove their complaint.

Further, you can take steps against them for filing false complaint against you (if you can prove your stand), and that, the same will be  helpful to you in your aforesaid cases to demonstrate their mala fides.

As per NC police can only take action after order of court else no

In a non-cognizable case, the police does not have the power to conduct any investigation without the orders of the court. Therefore, the police will not conduct any enquiry in a non-cognizable case. Moreover, the police does not register any FIR in a non-cognizable case; it merely enters the details of the non-cognizable case in the General Diary / Station Diary of the police station and also in the Non-Cognizable Register.

Their intentions is to pressurize you for taking your complaint back and take no action regarding 498 A case.

It is a case in counter just to terrify you with such unwanted cases. 

You dont get disturbed by such flimsy cases, the police cannot go ahead with such false counter cases.

You concentrate on your present case as well as the future cases that you propose to file against them.
