I met a person in matrimony and during the period we were in contact , he has taken rs.45000 transferred to his account and about Rs.30,000 Which I have given in cash to him and his other contacts. I have whatsapp proof of him accepting that he has to return Rs.75000 to me and googlepay proof of Rs.45000 from my account to his account. He has returned Rs.10000 long back by googlepay but refusing to return the remaining amount and making false accusations that I have taken money and gold chain from him. Now he asked me to return the money and gold chain and other things he falsely accuses me of taking from him and said he will not return any amount to me. I used to visit him that was hardly 7-10 times at his residence and now he is making false accusations that he has rented me his home for 3months and therefore I should pay him.There is no rental agreement and I have not stayed also.He is making accusations of me taking his 2bhk ground floor and single room 2nd floor both for my stay and trying to avoid returning my money. I told he can take time and return my money in instalments but he is not agreeing to that also. He has stopped picking my calls or responding to texts. I have phone call recordings of our conversations. 1) Is whatsapp chat a proof that can be used.Are phone call recordings a proof? 2) What is the meaning of legal notice to get money? How is it done? 3) We are from different cities. Can I register at any police station in my city ? Is it compulsory to file at a police station of his home address in his city or It can be done at any police station in his city? 4) can I consider cyber crime case as I met him through matrimony site? 5) He is doing my character assassination and threatens to come to my city and do the same in front of my home and says he will do something to spoil my marriage. Can I file a complaint to stop him from doing this?

1. The whatsapp chat message cannot be admissible as primary evidence before court, however on the basis of this evidence you can approach police with a complaint for cheating you after taking your money on loan and refusing to repay.
2. You can approach an advocate in the local and issue a legal demand notice demanding the money given to him as loan by stipulating time in that notice, failing which you can convert it into a money recovery suit.
3. For an effective action and recovery of money, it is advisable that a complaint may be lodged in the police station within whose jurisdiction his residential address falls.
4. No, there is no cyber crime involved in this.
5. If he is indulging in such undesirable activities against you, then you can very well lodge a criminal complaint against him with the local police station also.
A criminal complaint must be filed against him for cheating and forgery and fraud and blackmailing and extortion.
A case with the cyber crime cell can akso be filed.
Electronic evidence is admissible in a court of law.
A legal notice may be sent to him demanding money and in case he doesn't respond then file a case.
1. Whatsapp conversation can be led in evidence according to the provisions of IT Act and Evidence Act.
2. Serve a lawyer's notice to this person to demand the refund of your money. If he does not refund it within a week then you may file a criminal complaint for cheating and criminal breach of trust under Sections 420 and 406 IPC against him and also a suit for recovery in the competent civil court.
Hey,
1. Yes they both can be used as evidence as per the Indian Evidence Act by the virtue of amendments of the Information Technology Act.
2. Legal notice is sent from an advocate on your behalf to that person to pay you within a certain period of time failing which legal actions are hinted at so as to make them avoid litigation and pay money.
3. You can register police complaint from your place of residence.
4. I would suggest for that to be kept as the last option as it isn't the best option for you.
5. This is good enough for you to file a complaint with the police for criminal intimidation.
1)Can the person put false charges against me saying I have to return him money as rent for his home, that I have taken his gold chain and other things, that I am torturing him for money or that I cheated him having met through matrimony and register FIR against me? He does not have any proof for the above accusations as they are false accusations. I am in my probation period in government job and so I want to know. 2) Will the police register FIR against me without any solid proof just because he made false accusations?? 3)If they register FIR , how will it affect my job because of the case even though it is false. 4)Will it affect my job till the time the case is in the court?.
He can register FIR against you by making false allegations
2) in order to convict you allegations have to be proved
3) police would conduct investigations, record your statement then file charge sheet
4) mere registration of FIR would not affect your job
1. For making an allegation of not paying the rent he must prove the landlord - tenancy relationship by producing the copies of the rental agreement or any other evidence for your stay there in the premises as a tenant.
As far as the money he has to return it to you, he is giving some lame excuses with false accusations that you had taken his gold chain etc., you may first send a legal demand notice demanding the money you had lent to him in the past based on the transactions details and also his confirmation through whatsapp about the receipt of the said sum of loan amount.
Your government job will not be affected for any reason due to this legal notice or the legal steps that you may take to recover your amount.
2. First of all he cannot approach police without any evidence, even otherwise, the police will not register the FIR immediately on receipt of a complaint form him in this regard. They will first summon you, enquire into the incident and then only they may proceed with the legal action if they find that the complaint is made out on the basis of the documentary evidences he may submit.
3. Read the above.
If in case of a FIR registered against you, then yo may better apply for anticipatory bail and challenge his false case properly in the trial proceedings accordinlgy.
4. No, it will not affect.
Dear sir/ma'am,
1. Filing a false F.I.R is an offence and in case if someone puts false allegation on you and files the F.I.R against you then you may file a complaint with the police officer who lodged the FIR or with his Senior police officer, who is empowered to file a case against such police officer who lodged the FIR before the Magistrate court under Section 182 of the IPC.
2. Once the FIR is filed, the police must investigate the case, record the statements of all witnesses, and file a final report. If the police determine that there is no basis for the complaint or that there is insufficient evidence to prosecute the case, and no further action is taken.
3. The mere filing of a FIR will have no negative impact on employment. For any adverse effect on their job, proceedings must have been initiated in court or the person must be convicted of the offence.
4. No, the F.I.R alone will not affect your job, till the time your case is actually moved to the court for further proceedings.
Thank you,
1. You can send a legal notice for getting the refund the amount after mentioning the details and further deny that you got said money in any form
2. No
3. Registration of FIR can effect government job , but there cannot be FIR on this ground.
4. Further only a compliant and FIR against you cannot effect your job ,
He would have to furnish details and proof in case he accuses you.
I don't think his statements would hold any value.
