101 votes

The duration of a trial under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the number of witnesses, the availability of evidence, and the efficiency of the judicial system. It is difficult to provide an exact timeline as each case is unique, and the duration can vary significantly.

Quashing an FIR is a discretionary power of the High Court, and it is generally considered a challenging process. To quash a false 498A FIR, it typically involves filing a petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in the appropriate High Court seeking the quashing of the FIR. The petitioner must present compelling evidence and strong legal arguments to demonstrate that the FIR is baseless, false, or malicious. It may require showing that the allegations lack credibility, that there is a lack of evidence supporting the charges, or that the FIR was filed with malicious intent. The court will carefully examine the merits of the case, evaluate the evidence, and consider the legal arguments presented by both parties before making a decision on whether to quash the FIR.
The amount of time it takes to quash 498A can vary significantly. In some cases, the court may expedite the proceedings and provide a relatively quick resolution, especially if there are strong grounds for quashing the FIR. However, in other cases, the process may take longer, especially if there are complex legal issues or if the court has a heavy caseload.

I have perused your query. The time of trial depends. It usually takes 2 to 3 years. It can be quashed on merits in case the Honble High Court gets satisfied that there the FIR is apparently and patently false. Else it can be quashed in case of comprise between the husband and the wife

498a FIR may be quashed by filing a 482 against the same. If grounds are solid, there's not much of a difficulty in getting the FIR quashed. Time span work of range anywhere between a few days to a few weeks. Further and better particulars are needed for an effective opinion.
