You should have appeared in your case; and if you apprehended that your in-laws would harm you, you should have notified the court of your fears through your lawyer. Section 498(A) of the IPC is a very serious offense, and you must at once appear before the court, please consult a lawyer at once.

I am sorry to hear of your wife's passing. The police will investigate into your wife's suicide and make a determination on whether someone was responsible for her committing suicide. Having said that, please consult your lawyer at once and make an appearance in the maintenance as well as the dowry harassment cases.

Hello,
-You will be called for investigation by the police since its a suicide case and based on the investigation they may or may not arrest.
- You can file an anticipatory bail application before the court to avoid arrest but should help police in their investigation.
- With regard to harm from your wife family you can seek police protection from the court.
