Apply for and obtain Anticipatory bail from sessions court
contest false case on merits
An fir has been lodged. You should take anticipatory bail for yourself and your family members. What are the sections that have been imposed along with 498A?
Moreover the charge sheet would be filed in a few months. The case will commence after the filing of the charge sheet. Therefore take anticipatory bail.
File a domestic violence case against her and her family through your mother and sister so that they are pressurised into compromise.
Ok. So 377 has also been filed. Take anticipatory bail.
Since the complaint against your parents and others were closed by the police considering it as false, and the FIR against you alone is pending, you remain silent about it unless you receive a summons from police in this regard in future.
At the later stage, if at all there is a necessity you can file a petition to quash the FIR or charge sheet on the basis of the information and merits you rely upon.
The information you have furnished now would be useful for your advocate to make them as pleadings in the application for quash of charge sheet before high court.
Since the police have found this to be false complaint hence they have removed the names of other accused from the FIR.
Now you may have to wait for the summons from police after which you can file an application for anticipatory bail and also to file a quash petition before high court on the basis of the substantial evidences in your support and the merits in your side.
Dear Sir,
1. False cases of 498A in India are very common. The first step is to keep all proofs (such as call recordings, marriage expense bills, etc) with you. This will help you disprove the allegations of the same.
2. In case a charge sheet is filed and you will be asked to present yourself before the court, then you will have to come to India.
3. If a charge sheet is filed against you, then through Power of Attorney, you may get a response to the petition filed. Depending on whether the magistrate makes a prima-facie case or not, you can choose whether to come to India or not.
4. Please do not take any pre-mature action until and unless a charge sheet is filed against you
Thank you
1. When the matrimonial relationship for the majority of marriage has unfolded outside India then FIR under 498A is not maintainable in India.
2. You should have filed petition for quashing of FIR in the High Court. Having myself appeared as a lawyer in many such cases I can vouch that you had sound prospects of getting the FIR quashed had you approached the High Court in time.
