I am going to file Contested Divorce on Mental Cruel grounds shortly.. Is there any feasibility for her to apply DVC case against me upon knowing the divorce case?

She can file any false case because she will need a protection for herself so she may take shield under legal umbrella, but that can be defended.

Please comment as i am very much fear that, upon filing DVC by her, whether police dept will take action such as imprisonment and all ???? would there be a formal enquiry will be there???

The police will not involve in domestic violence case and there is no need to panic about this because it will be conducted in the court directly without police involvement.

Would she be eligible to get maintenance or do i need to give lump sum amount as one time settlement for urging this?

This will be decided only when she applies for maintenance under law. You can always negotiate the issue when there arrives a compromise situation.

Non Registration of marriage will not make your marriage invalid

Could i contest her if she files 498A or if she seeks for maintenance & other reliefs????

You can always defend yourself on the basis of merits in your side.

if she is not willing for mutual divorce , how long will take for judgement ? with the available chat histories, whether the honourable court will consider give the justice or simply giving preference on gender bias?

If a case is contested it may take years to get disposed, the court will hear both the sides and then only it will decide the case on merits,

You are eligible to file a divorce case only after completion of one yearof marriage

If they are demanding some settlement for accepting divorce, do i supposed to give or i can contest till the honourable court gives judgement?

You can contest this and let the court decide

Please suggest, can i approach police station as well before she is approaching you, as i am not at fault at any stage as they have played with my life brutally - mental agony .. Can i file DAMAGE case against her parents as they have cheated knowing her daughters character??

NO, dont do that mistake

Kindly suggest the way ahead on sequence.. I dont want my parents/family members involved in this as no body aware till last week about this sort of situations. Anything happen, it should happen for me..

You inform your parents about this because it is a long process they should not be kept unaware.
