Wife trying to trap in more cases after acquittal in 498a
10-May-2023 (In Criminal Law)
HiMy wife filed fake 498a case on me in 2014, I got acquitted from Lower court and from session as well their appeal was rejected. On other side they have 125 ongoing and STREEDHAN WAPSI (not sure under which section) case.. I didn't take anything as dowry from them at the time of marriage. They've just submitted fake list (no sign from my family/no receipt etc) without any bills..They're simply blackmailing us for Money.. My question is:-nn1. How do I protect myself from further false cases?n2. Can a defamation case be filed against them?n3. Can a criminal conspiracy case be filed against them?n4. Is it a crime to give false/fabricated statements in court/thane? They've given totally contradicting statements in 498a/125.. can we file a complaint to prosecute them for the same?nnNotes:n1. Statements contradict/tell different things in 498a and 125 n2. They're spreading lies e.g. I am threating them etc. whereas I live 110kms away. never talked to them
Yes u can file a complaint case against them for giving false statements and trying to implicate u in a false case of threat .As for str idhan case is concerned they must have filled a complaint under section 406 criminal breach of trust but as u have told they have submitted a fase list and u have not taken any dowry u can contest that case by submitting proofs .

As you have mentioned that you have got acquitted from lower court and appeal also rejected by superior court which show's that you have good case. yes contradictory statement helps . but you can show that judgement which was passed in 498A . And in my view, you should not go for more casese it will increase more economical and mental pressure. if you have got success in 498A you will gate success in maintenance case.
