Hi,
I am an NRI and My wife, living in India ridiculed and defamed me publicly after which I decided to end my already strained relationship with her. AFter the incident of my defamation I called her parents and expressed my intent to end my marriage peacefully as per my rights in Islamic Shariah law. I even gave them an option of Khula . But instead her family gave us gruesome threats if I didnt forgive or proceed to give divorce. Because of their threats, I was compelled to move my parents out of India before I pronounce Talaq . My parents are old and senior citizens. And as I could no longer continue the marriage , I gave her Talaq with in next few days and made an announcement in the newspaper to collect her gold and other belongings which she brought at the time of marriage from an advocate.
After my ex- inlaws came to know that I gave divorce , they have lodged false FIR against my whole family. They have cooked up a story in which they framed every member of my family and shockingly ,they have framed my sisters husband's family as well so as to take revenge with my ELder sister. My ex-inlaws have strong connections with Police authorities and MIM polititians. They even have licensed revolvers. The offence that they complained is cognizable and unbailable. They just want to ruin our lifes to show how powerful they are.
My whole family is out of India, but my Sisters Husbands parents who are almost 80 years old are in India and they too are framed in the FIR with cognizable offences( 420 , 302, 406, 109). But somehow, by Gods grace, they got bail from the high court and were not arrested by police.
I sent emails to ACP and DCP explaining and giving them evidences that FIR is 100 % false and just a retaliation to my divorce. I even gave proofs of what made me gave the divorce to her.
Now I have asked my lawyer to quash the FIR because still the chargesheet has not gone to court. But the lawyer is saying that he cannot quash the FIR as the complaints are unbailable and we are out of India . And as per him, if we try to quash, my ex- inlaws can appeal in supreme court. But my argument to him is that the FIR is utter nonsense and I have all the proofs to prove it wrong. I have sent him all the proofs proving the FIR to be fallacious. But my lawyer is not agreeing to quash .
Please advise if I should change my lawyer or we really cannot quash the FIR .I have all the evidences to prove the FIR wrong.
Also, Police is asking to submit passport of my sisiters father in law as this is one of the conditions of the bail he got from the high court it seems. SHould he submit the passport to police. Other wise police is threating to arrest him. Please help.

Thank you everybody for the answers,
Its been 2 months and still the police has not submitted the charge sheet. My lawyers have already submitted documentary evidence to police informing that the FIR is false and retaliation to Divorce announcement and i have sent the emails too, to the ACP and DCP of the police zone .
1. My whole family is still abroad and taking this advantage , can police authorities still say that the we have not joined the investigation and are absconding even when we have informed them by lawyers and emails. And if yes , can they issue a look out notice for my whole family( 8 people in total) . My ex-inlaws have strong connections with police and we are afraid if they can influence higher police authorities like DIG to issue look out notice. As the sections charged in the FIR are 420 , 302, 406, 109 (which are cognizable), how easy or difficult it is for the police to get the look out notice issued and of what kind possible ( Local or even international possible).?
2. No body except the father in law of my Elder sister has gotten the bail so far. So should we too apply for bail even when dont want to travel back to india soon. And what if we travel, can bail help us in not getting detained at airport. And after getting the bail, can we travel back abroad by taking orders from court.
4. I have audio evidence of my ex-wife inlaws threatning my parents and my younger sister ( just 20 years old) .So, even before the chargesheet is filed, can I use this evidence before court to file a counter complainant or case or petition of some sort from abroad ?
5. And if the chargesheet is filed, we can prove the case is utter false in just one hearing given the strong proofs we have. So, what happens to the complaitant if the case is found to be false. Can he be arrested or sentenced to prison? What can I do to sue them for my loss of money , health , respect etc.
