No. Because if filing the said application will lead to confession that you took dowry and the same will subject you to more problem.

Instead file a reply to the said maintenance application denying the said facts.

hello client your query is write but in the matter as you are willing in this case no NGO IS REQUIRED you are capable of filling the case by yourself only as the word dowery is itseld defined as crime so the things as giving and taking of dowery both ate crime.

Hello, I have perused your query. In the present circumstances if your wife has falsely pleaded in her case/ petition, then you can move an application under section 340 of the code of criminal procedure whereby a complaint will be further instituted aginst her if proved.

For any further information feel free to reach out to us.
