1)What should be done to get FIR at the earliest ?

If the police is reluctant to register the case or FIR, you may file a private complaint with judicial magistrate court under section 156(3) cr.p.c. seeking its direction to police to investigate and register FIR.

2)What should be done to get the girl arrested as soon as possible?

She cannot be arrested without a FIR registered against her.

3)Girl had some previous affair and was also taking depression pills which her family members hide from us.

What all sections(dharas) are applicable on girl and her family based on suicide and hiding truth facts?

Section 306 IPC will be applicable, by which: If any person commits suicide, whoever abets the commission of such suicide, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine.

4)It also came to our notice that the girl side might go for Anticipatory bail and quashing of FIR in high court.

What should be done to prevent both Anticipatory bail for girl and quashing of FIR?

You may file an intervene petition during bail hearing and record strong objection to grant of AB and also in the counter for quash you may strongly object to the petition.

5)Also girl side had given some cash ,jewellery ,how to return it ?

Let them ask for it then you can return it in the presence of witnesses of both the sides under an acknowledgement from her side.

Hello,

1) If the police is refusing to file FIR despite your efforts in insisting the same you can approach the Magistrate court with a private complaint and the police will be directed to investigate and report and that entails filing an FIR as well.

2) If FIR is filed in the circumstances the police is bound to arrest the girl or take her into custody for interrogation. You don't need to take any steps.

3) They can be charged with abetment to suicide. As far as addind relevant sections pertaining to the specific circumstances is the discretion of the police.

4) Anticipatory bail is an option open to any accused. You can engage an advocate to assist the prosecution in opposing the bail. The quash petition will be tried on meit by the court. You can assist the prosecution in opposing the petition to quash when it comes up.

1. You can move the High Court for seeking registration of FIR for abetment to suicide against the persons named in the suicide note left behind by your brother. When the investigation commences she may be arrested.

2. It is her right to apply for anticipatory bail to preempt her arrest and also for quashing subsequently but this does not stop you from proceeding against her. As and when she files for bail and/or quashing you can contest it through your lawyer.

3. The jewellery can be offered to be returned through a lawyer's notice to her.

1. Send a complaint letter to the local police station under copy to the local S.P./D.C of police by speedpost and collect the track report for delivery through internet,

2. If the police refuses to take any action, file a writ petition before the High court against police inaction,

3. Since your brother, who had taken the cash/jewelry, has died it is not your responsibility to return the same,

4. However, if you still wish to return the same, send her a notice asking her to take back her articles from you within next 7 days by acknowledging the receipt of the same.
