1. Your friend should move the High Court to get pre-arrest bail for himself and his mother. Unless the bail is granted he and his family will be at the mercy of police.

2. He can obtain the copy of FIR through RTI but this is likely to around a month. So it is not advisable to do this,

3. The court will scrutinize the evidences of both the sides and give a fair opportunity to him to prove his innocence.

4. Bail is the discretion of the court. It can be granted on the very first hearing.

5. He will be at liberty to join his job after bail is granted.

3. Yes, court will see these evidences/

4.Yes, ask him to apply for anticipatory bail. He will get it.

a) SHO is not giving the copy of FIR to my friend after repetitive reuqest. what to do, he also threaten him while counselling session, made him to do dandbaithak 50 times in front of the girl

SHO is not supposed to give a copy of FIR to the accused, he can obtain it through RTI or from the court at the time of filing charge sheet and initial questioning by the court. The dandh baithak before the girl is an act violating the human rights, the accused can very well file a complaint with the State Commission for human rgts against the erring SHO.

b) girl and her family claimed that they were demanded 5 lac rupees and swift car by the boy, however their was no such demand, marriage happen on 14th feb'14 and after 22nd feb'14 boy was not staying wid girl, in october'14 he left for out of india for his job. he and his family never demanded any thing, just to save marriage by pressure they are putting wrong allegations. whats the way out

You have to challenge them only during trial of the case in the court, police will turn a deaf ear to such issues.

3) my friend has emails from girl and phone reocrdings of her and her chacha stating that boy never tortured her or never demanded any thing, but police doesnt saw ny of the evidences, will court also not see his evidences.

Sometimes if the said evidences produced before court in the original form ,it may consider them to be corroborative evidence.

4) can he get a bail under this case where he was charged under 498 a and 406 IPC, if yes then in how many days and what grounds

Yes he can get anticipatory bail too, if applied

5) can he fly back to his job after bail.

Where?, he cannot go to abroad after obtaining bail, he has to take permission of court to do so.

1. Please note that he will not be arrested for the said complaint lodged against him u/s498A of IPC as per the Supreme Court order directing the police to to make any arrest without conducting an investigation,

2. If there is a FIR filed against you then you can get copy of it from the Court and take Anticipatory Bail,

3. There is no need to take AB if no FIR has been filed by the police and only General Diary has been lodged,

4. You shall have to just find out whether an FIR has been lodged against you or not and its number,

5. If FIR has been filed, take AB and contest the case with all your collected evidence.
