How to defend a fake 498A case against me?

915 votes

Hello,

If an FIR is registered for 498a IPC against you ,you will not be arrested by the police straight away. The police will issue you a pre arrest notice. As soon as you get that, apply for anticipatory bail in the sessions court. Once you get the bail, the police cannot arrest you. Thereafter the police will complete the investigation and file charge sheet in the magistrate court and you will be issued summons for your appearance. You can engage an advocate and appear before the court and wait for the trial to begin. Thereafter,fight the case. If you are proved to be inñocent, you will be acquitted and you found out to be guilty, you will be punished which rarely happens as most of the 498a cases are false and filed with an intention to harass and grab money from the husband. You can easily win the case. If you need any help, feel free to contact me.

Hi
Safeguard yourself, your parents and your relatives.
1) Be very polite in all circumstances. Record all conversations (voice, chat, email, letters, etc.) with those threatening and keep the originals in a safe place. Never produce the originals before anyone, not even before your lawyer.
2) Write a complaint to your nearest police station, detailing about blackmailing, her false allegations and her unscrupulous behavior. And request in your complaint to make her stop the threats and abuses immediately.
3) File RCR (Restitution of Conjugal Rights). Remember to include conditions that she should agree on before she starts living with you again.
4) Collect evidence to prove that you have neither demanded dowry or have taken it anytime.
5) Collect evidence to prove that she moved out of the bond of marriage for no apparent reason.
