My wife has filed a case U/S 498, 34 and 506 what to do.


15-Dec-2023 (In Family Law)
Hi, my wife filed a 498, 34 and 506 case. She was staying in her moms house since 5 months. I told her to come after 5 months but she didnt came. I told i will file a case against her and mom, it was a dhamki. But they took seriously and filed a complaint. SI called for compromise and told her to stay 1 week in my house but she showed her faltu attitude and in second counselling she refused to stay with me after a compromise from us. SI told them to go in court as my wife was compromising and understanding. We gave 10 days time to their family to correct the girl but she filed a fir 498, 34 and 506. She filed a case against my 3 sisters me and mom. Please let me know if i need to take the anticipatery or regular bail for my whole family or taking bail myself is fine. A lawyer asked 25000 fo 5 people. Also, please let me know if i will be convicted or acquitted for the 498, 34 and 506 case. I took dowry of 2 lakhs in which 1 lakh is given to my wife of gold. I have the receipt.

Hi
Since the police have already counselled you , it is highly unlikely that the police will arrest you.
So go for a regular bail for all of 5 people.
Conviction rates in 498a and 506 is very very poor. SO NO WORRIES
Do not admit that you took 2 lakhs dowry.
alternatively you can say that you gave 1 lakh as gold to your wife.
