Hello,

1) You can certainly apply for anticipatory bail and get it too in case they file criminal cases like 498A against you.

2) You need to file for divorce. You are liable to pay maintenance to the child and her and alimony if situation demands. Adorning there's no specific rules regarding the amount it will take into consideration your income, living standards, child's future etc.

3) If she goes ahead and file criminal cases it can affect your family members too as they will be dragged to build pressure on you.

4) You can certainly file a case against her brother fit criminal intimidation.

5) The best step you can usage now is to file for Restitution of Conjugal Rights which is asking your wife in a court to come back and live with you as your wife with the child. This will help you eventually in divorce, child custody and maintenance.

1) RCR is useless .

2) even if you get a decree you cannot force your wife to stay with you .

3) court will award maintenance to your wife and child even if you file RCR . it would be her case that she cannot stay with you on account of physical and mental abuse

1. Yes, you can very much apply for anticipatory bail and you are most likely to get the same.

2. There is no separate compensation for not residing with her. You will be directed to provide her maintenance @ 1/3 to 1/5 of your income .

3. Yes, as long as they do not get bail there will be harassment and once they get the same every ordeal would be over.

4. Yes, you can file case u/s 500.506 of IPC.

1. On your part you can file sec.9 before criminal prosecution is launched against you. As and when the FIR is filed you should apply immediately for anticipatory bail.

2. You are free to reside separately from her. No right to claim compensation arises out of separate residence simpliciter.

3. The tendency is to name all family members of husband in the FIR. So all of you can apply for pre-arrest bail when the case is lodged.

4. You are free to file criminal complaints of criminal intimidation against them depending on the content of recordings.

1. I they lodge an false FIR Against me and my family members, them what is the remedy?? Can we apply for anticipatory bail or other.

You first have to obtain aB and then challenge their false cases in the court of law.

2. I dont want to live with her, what is the solution??? What may be the compensation

Forget about the compensation, first file a divorce case which will bring lots of solution.

3. Whether all of these may create problems for my family members who have no connection with her .

Yes, certainly it may bring disgust among the family members due to her false activities.

4. Whether i may take any legal action against her and her younger brother whose call recordings i have to abusing me , my sister very very badly, and threating me to murder.

Call recordings may not entitle yo to file any case against them, but you can very well lodge a police complaint for their threatening activities including extortion.

Should i file an application u/s 9 HMA to avoid maintaninace????

This will be a waste exercise because if she is unwilling to live with you what is the use of filing this case? Maintenance cannot be avoided even if you file RCR case.

you can file a case under section 504/506 IPC against her brother and section 384 IPC against her mother.

you should file a divorce case and also contest her false complaint, when you have prove that her complaint is false and case is decided in your favour then you will get another ground of divorce. filing of false case is matrimonial cruelty and it is treated as a valid ground of divorce. if divorce is granted on this ground then she cannot claim maintenance.

no you should not file a case for restitution of conjugal rights only for avoiding maintenance. when you successfully prove her guilt then maintenance either be rejected or only nominal maintenance may be granted .
