• How to proceed now

My parent (mother) aged 70 yrs (retired from govt. of india) was pushed from the stairs by my wife, during a heated argument , as she used to fight everyday and mentally harass my mother...
 ( which in advance 3 days on 31st march before the incident had been reported by me to the local police in the way of a information application that she harasses my mother and myself and forces me to leave her, and fights everyday with my mother and misbehaves with her )

Hence after this incident on 3rd april 19, the my mother filed a report in the local police station by dialing 100 ( which was a ncr not fir) and her medical was done through the police in a govt. hospital where it was stated that she is hurt ( medical reports available), but no need to admit in the hospital...but i admitted her to a private hospital saying that she fell from the stairs , she was in the hospital for 4 days( reports available)

Then same day she also filed a report in the same police station that my mother and myself torture her for dowry and i force her for prostitution, but the police sent her to the caw cell noida and she filed the same report at caw cell noida ( which later on was withdrawn by her, by telling the caw cell that she is not interested to file a complaint) 
I feel that this complaint was taken back by her because she was in kanpur that time and was not interested to come to noida to appear

My mother then filed a dv case against my wife...for which she has been sent a notice also from the court to appear ( she has not appeared on the first date)

Then from kanpur she had made a complaint which was sent to my local police station at noida thru sp office kanpur, and cc to the local kanpur thana too.... but the i,o, here at noida after investigating sent a positive report to sp office and the local thana too in our favour ......but now 
Suddenly the girl has been able to file a fir against me and my mother in the local thana for which i am getting calls to appear in the local thana and give bayans

Hi,

You are suggested to first know the complaint filed by your wife in PS and then you may appear with your advocate depending on gravity of aapplication and her allegations. If there is a FIR, first get the anticipatory bail and then go for bayan.

You should first of all get a copy of the fir and then apply for anticipatory bail. After getting the bail you should go to the police station along with a lawyer.

Dear Sir,

1. No arrest in dowry cases till charges are verified, says Supreme Court

Expressing concern over disgruntled wives misusing the anti-dowry law against their husbands and in-laws, the Supreme Court on Thursday directed that no arrest or coercive action should be taken on such complaints without ascertaining the veracity of allegations.
Acknowledging a growing trend among women involved in marital discord to abuse Section 498A of IPC to rope in their husbands’ relatives — including parents, minor children, siblings and grandparents — in criminal cases, a bench of Justices A K Goel and UU Lalit said it was high time such frivolous cases which violated the human rights of innocent was checked.

 

3. Yes, it is better to get anticipatory bail from the court.  and also file Writ petition u/s 482 quash the FIR.

1. You have not mentioned which section(s) the FIR has been filed under. Presuming it has been filed under 498A police is bound to first serve a notice to you under Section 41A Cr.P.C. before arresting you. Once the notice is served then you apply for anticipatory bail immediately.

2. Once FIR has been registered then no complaint to any of the authorities you have named can cancel it. Only the High Court can quash the FIR.

3. Without waiting for the 41 A notice you can immediately file a petition for quashing of FIR in the High Court and seek a stay on the FIR itself, but this should be done only if the parameters of quashing of FIR are fulfilled.

No arrest, also submit that she has already filed FIR in other thana, hence her this FIR is not maintainable. For same incidents, 2 FIRs not permitted.

File petition for quash of FIR. Obtain closer report in the FIR field in Kanpur.

Report to police and describe all the facts. Record your mother's statement also. 

No need to go for AB now 

In case of arrest you can apply for regular bail.

1. If you apprehend arrest, you may better obtain AB and then appear before the concerned police station.

2.  How do you know that this is a wrong complaint, you have not even appeared before the police for giving statement from your side, neither the case has come before court for trial proceedings and the case is not proved as wrong, then how can you conclude that this a a false case?

3. First obtain AB, ascertain facts, allow the police to file the charge sheet and then you may plan to file a quash petition before high court.

there could be no automatic arrest. 

First and foremost you should prefer an Application for Anticipatory Bail under Section 438 of CrPC before the District & Sessions Court. You should file the Application for Anticipatory Bail in the light of the Judgment (Arnesh Kumar v. State of Bihar). One you are granted Anticipatory bail you should prefer quashing petition under Section 482 of CrPC..
