FIR/chargesheet case in Bengaluru vs complaint in Mumbai
25-Jun-2025 (In Criminal Law)
Pending 498a quashing in Bengaluru, where marriage took place & marital residence was also there. Post mediation failure during quashing after 5 sessions almost, wife has filed a new complaint with Bharosa cell in MUM. What all to do now, how to act, specially use this in our favour and teach the other party a lesson of the lifetime, with immediate effect to stop harassing in the first place.
Since the 498A quashing is pending in Bengaluru, and the marital residence and incident occurred there, you may file a petition under Section 482 CrPC before the Karnataka High Court seeking stay/quashing of the new FIR filed in Mumbai citing jurisdictional abuse and forum shopping. Use the mediation failure and continuous litigation as evidence of harassment and misuse of process.
Also consider filing a counter-complaint for criminal intimidation and mental harassment under Sections 182, 211, and 499 IPC. Collect all evidence of mediation efforts and contradictory actions by the complainant to strengthen your case. Seek directions to club FIRs or transfer proceedings back to Bengaluru.
