25-Dec-2023 (In Cyber Crime Law)
Case : I was in touch with one of my school seniors and we talked more like people romantically involved. She is a married woman and her husband didn't know about this till a point of time. Our conversation started since Dec 2018 and things went well till 6-7 months and subsequently went worse. In the recent state of events, she filed an FIR against me on the sections mentioned in the subject accusing me of the following points :
a. Forcing her to be with me while she is happily married.
b. Threatening her to damage her integrity
She has taken her husband into confidence for the same.
An LOC was also filed along with the FIR.
Currently, I am on bail.
I have the following queries:
a. What can be the best possible solution in this state?
b. What are the possible talking points for arguments to initiate a compromise in this case?
c. I want to quash and close the case. What will be the ideal legal fees for the same?
d. What is the role of IO in this case?
Well, if you both are equally involved in communicating interacting, then u need to contest the case and you have to file a counter complaint her that she is harrassing you. And if you want to settle the things and she is ready for settlement, then you can approach to high court for quashing. IO role is to investigate the matter.
The answers to your query are as follows:
1. The chances of your job prospects being hampered depend on the mode and depth of BGC the company does. If the the company does BGC to find whether any criminal investigation or complaint is pending against a prospective employee then it will surely hamper the job prospects. Additionally, some companies make a prospective employee sign on a declaration that no criminal case is pending against such a person. if one signs on it and it is later found that the prospective employee had lied, then the company will be free to initiate a lawsuit against such an employee.
2. You can surely file a reverse FIR against the complainant, but is success will depend upon how good a case you have against the complainant.
3. if an accused is in custody the police has to file it within 90 days. but if the accused is not in custody, the limitation does not apply.
4. the next step in the case should be that if the case filed against you is false and frivolous, you may consider getting it quashed by filing a petition under section 482 CrPC.
