Can wife file 498A case in different cities


15-Jun-2023 (In Criminal Law)
My wife has already lodged a 498A Private Complaint in her hometown Ranchi which is pending cognisance from court. Can she now file another 498A complaint in Bangalore ( my and her place of work)? In such case, do i need to take AB from both Bangalore and Ranchi? Can AB be taken based on "apprehension of arrest"? Its been granted in Bangalore. Can i seek the same in Ranchi based on the private complaint she filed?

In Ranchi if court takes cognizance, then they will issue summons to you to appear and by that time itself you can take bail from the very same court on that day. Suppose if court refers matter to the concerned police at Ranchi for investigation under section 156(3) of CrPC, then u need to take anticipatory bail in district courts at Ranchi.

But if you are afraid that your wife will file one more complaint in Bangalore at jurisdictional police, then you can reach out to courts at Bangalore to grant Anticipatory Bail by showing the case papers of Ranchi by saying that you are scared that your wife may file case here in Bangalore and Such Anticipatory Bail be made valid only to your jurisdictional police at Bangalore.

Dear friend , Your query is not that specific though ur case is a good one , we have been able to provide relief in such cases where multiple cases for same offence is registered , Ranchi court perceives the case with women orientation hence you can hardly expect much relief ,better you contact us so that can guide u in best way .Adv panakj
