How to proceed with case instituted by fiancee for dowry?


06-Nov-2023 (In Criminal Law)
Hi, sir, I had my engagement in the year January 2012 and marriage date was finalised. So when only one week was left for marriage the girls mother came to my house and asked questions related to my share of property. After that she started abusing my sister in law and my family. So we decided not to proceed with marriage and then she filed an fir related to Dowry. I have hired a lawyer and case is still going on since 2012. Please let me know how to tackle this case. I married to another girl in 2014, i have taken case on board, opposite party girl also got married, plz suggest what to do now

If the FIR is filed and not being proceeded with and both the parties have moved on with their respective lives and there is no other document or witness on record to show demand for dowry, then its a fit case for going to High Court and quashing the FIR altogether.
