Is bail necessary before summon date and do we need to file alimony


22-May-2023 (In Criminal Law)
My sister is married for 14 years and has a son. She has been subjected to domestic violence, physical torture and in 2014 filed a FIR and my brother in law was charged with 498A/494/506/34. There was a separation for a year, but in 2015 things improved and my sister went back to in laws for staying together. This lasted for a year and abuses again erupted.In Dec 2016, she was again tortured and forced to come back to parental home .Now her husband and father in law both has filed a case with 294/323/325/341/352/379/506 and my sister received a summon to appear in court. My question: Do I need to get bail for my sister before the summon date? Will my sister has to face session court hearing and investigation? can we apply quashing of the complaint case at high court before summon? Does she need to file alimony or domestic violence case again? Religion Hindu

Sir, you have a lot of questions. As far as 325 and 379 is concerned, we have to see the allegations. It would be appropriate, if I see the FIR copy. Yes in case the allegations are serious, you will need a bail and so also you can file a petition for quashing.

Primary facie all the offences except 379ipc are bailable , and also seems to be a fit case for appeal before your High Court for quashing, but it depends upon the stage of investigation.
At the same time your sister can take shelter of appropriate court for a relief against the alleged domestic violence and cruelty, and your sister may demand maintainance from her husband for herself and her child in appropriate court.
Better consult an advocate.
