Dear sir,
Considering the fact that the complaint has been filed in dahod to harass you, despite you amd the wife both not living in dahod you will have to file a quashing petition before the gujarat high court.

A proper legal representation and appearance before the court needs to be done in such cases. You need to consult an advocate for the same and he will prepare your defence as per the fact and circumstances. You have to be quick as arrest warrants can be issued in such matters. Contact me for the Same. My chamber has associates in Dahod

Hi,

All depends upon the evidence .
First you need to consult the lawyer, brief him about the facts and supply the copy of complaint and FIR then only further course of action can be planned.

You can Challenge the Jurisdiction.

File application for Transfer of case.

Thanks

As you say its an false complaint but its necessary to be proved in the court and let her put up her case and then you just try to put your truth theory before the court.
Where the question is of jurisdiction than where does she resides that matters.

There are number of recent decisions of various high courts and supreme court giving guidelines in such cases. Police will not immediately arrest the accused and will call them for councilling. You can approach police
