I have filed a divorce against my wife in family court. After few month she filed a false domestic violence and dowry case against me and my family.In holi she went to her parents home and never came back.she blamed us that we beated her badly and threw her from the house. Now she is blaming us for domestic violence.She dont want to live with me bcoz her younger brother is handicapped and she wants to live with her.She has demanded a maintenance of Rs 200000 and monthly Rs 25000. Also she is claiming Rs 3000000 for dowry which is wrong.She is also demanding house compensation. What to do. I have filed case first in family court and after that she filed this domestic violence case . What to do pls help me
From the information you have given it is clear that she has filed a case under domestic violence act (DV act) and criminal case under IPC 498A after u filed petition for divorce.. Under DV act she can file application for protection, residence and compensation only so don't be fearful of being arrested.. In criminal case under 498A police will make preliminary inquiry then only it can arrest you .. meanwhile you can file application for anticipatory bail.. about demand for maintenance and compensation I need further details as advice can not be given based on what u have said.. u need to consult a lawyer with all documents etc..
