False Dowry 498a Complaint Case
August 15, 2022 हिंदी में पढ़ेंTable of Contents
Fighting against False Dowry and Harassment Case
False dowry and harassment cases filed by women on in-laws and husbands are being heavily misused. The government is following steps to amend it to make it justifiable to all. The number of false cases being filed against the husband and his family has been rising and has come to the notice of the government.
Introducing penalties and punishment for the misuse of the act is an action that the government is likely to take. In order to curb the misuse of this act, a judgment passed by the Supreme Court on the IPC 498A states that the police must give reasons before arresting the accused.

How to protect yourself from false 498A case
There are 2 options available if your wife or in-laws have filed or are threatening to file a false 498A dowry harassment complaint case against you and your family.
First, if your wife is staying with you, we would advise you to make call recordings or video recordings of her making such threats. These recordings will make strong evidence if and when the case goes to trial in court.
Second, if she has left your home then you can file a written complaint at the local police station stating that she left your house. If the case has already been filed we suggest you hire a competent advocate to defend yourself and your family in court.

You also may even want to file an anticipatory bail for yourself and your family if you suspect that a criminal complaint can be filed against you.
How can a lawyer help you in getting Bail?
Being charged with a crime, whether major or minor, is a serious matter. A person facing criminal charges risks severe penalties and consequences, such as jail time, having a criminal record, and loss of relationships and future job prospects, among other things. While some legal matters can be handled alone, a criminal arrest of any nature warrants the legal advice of a qualified criminal lawyer who can protect your rights and secure the best possible outcome for your case. You can also use LawRato's Free Legal Advice service to get free advice on your case from expert divorce/matrimonial lawyers.
If you're facing criminal prosecution, a criminal lawyer can help you understand:
-
The nature of the charges filed;
-
Any available defenses;
-
What plea bargains are likely to be offered; and
-
What is expected after trial or conviction?
