498a nbw , urgent help for nri

I stay out of india , married in 2006 dec , wife came abroad in jan 2007. she is educated and also started working abroad. In feb 2008 she left me and filed 498a case as private complaint in oct 2008 , against me , mother and sister .no fir . or charge sheet so far. Many years case did not proceed , then we gave application to close case , then they appeared , 1.My lawyer took her cross. In her cross she mentioned that she signed the petition without reading it. also she admitted that she not filed any complaint abroad or when she reached india as she thought we would improve . 2. She says that we asked dowry during marriage and she was beaten abroad and was asked for more dowry and I phoned her father to asking dowry else don't send her back. 3. No proof of any dowry given or any medical certificate given for being beaten. 4.her father gave cross as her witness and said my daughter tried to do suicide abroad , but he has never been abroad. Now the case went on their argument , instead of argument they gave application to issue non bailable warrant on us as we are not coming to court , what should we do ?

If the things have come to cross examination then it appears there is FIR and also there is chargehseet and also there may be bail also.

 

Better give complete facts so that you do not suffer any wrong advise based on half facts.

it is a private complaint which has been done directly in court to judge.

there is no fir and chargesheet .

the judge accepts the complaint and send summons.

now based on these arguments the judge will decide if charges are to be framed or not.

This is what i am being told by my lawyer ,hence i seek your expert guidance  on how the private 498a complaint proceeds ?


and based on the above what should be done about the nbw application ?

It will be there dream to bring you from abroad.

 

You have two options -

 

1) Appear in HC with some lawyer or with some relative-in-person on behalf of you for Speedy Trial and get the order. Submit it to the JM and appear through you lawyer and other relatives who are incurred in this case. You need not come. Your lawyer will represent you. Get it dispose of.

 

2) Since you are abroad then can't do anything if they don't know you employer details. If they don't know your employer details then don't come here and start a new life their.  If possible change your employer there in abroad.

Public complain - There will be FIR on police station and police will investigate and file charge sheet. State will also remain a complainant with your wife.

 

 

Private complain - Only you wife is the complainant. Still you can apply for certified copy and apply for Speedy Trial.

Mr Amit,

 

Never share your passpost, Visa and employer related any thing with anybody. Not even with your lawyer also.

Thanks Rocky smith ,

 

they have all details ..

what can be done now ?

amit8 (abcdef)     19 October 2014

Also , in pvt complaint , just by stating that she is harrased for dowry and she has given dowry , without any evidence and just mere statment is it enough for judge to frame charges ? and call us there ?

a) You have to reissue your passport with some other address and jurisdiction with address proof.

b) Switch to some other company in abroad itself.

c) Apply for speedy trial as advised above.

 

Please don't share your personal details to anyone, not even your lawyer this time.

you can seek for documentary evidence as per Indian Evidence Act 1872 by filing a counter petition U/S 91 CrPC.

 

These corrupted women and lawyers never bother to prove anything except claims.

dear    friend,

I have a lot of information about this.. I am one of the victim.

If you are in USA,  send email to jbhogineni@yahoo.com.

Don't worry I will share with you...

Thanks Rocky Smith

 

What documentary evidence as per Indian Evidence Act 1872 by filing a counter petition U/S 91 CrPC. should i seek for ? i am not clear.

 

Also in 498a pvt complaint can my presence not be exempted till their argument is over ?

 

Rocky Smith (Instructor @ Calcutta (rockysmith4calcutta@gmail.com))     21 October 2014

Section 91 in The Code Of Criminal Procedure, 1973
91. Summons to produce document or other thing.
(1) Whenever any Court or any officer in charge of a police station considers that the production of any document or other thing is necessary or desirable for the purposes of any investigation, inquiry, trial or other proceeding under this Code by or before such Court or officer, such Court may issue a summons, or such officer a written order, to the person in whose possession or power such document or thing is believed to be, requiring him to attend and produce it, or to produce it, at the time and place stated in the summons or order.
(2) Any person required under this section merely to produce a document or other thing shall be deemed to have complied with the requisition if he causes such document or thing to be produced instead of attending personally to produce the same.
(3) Nothing in this section shall be deemed-
(a) to affect sections 123 and 124 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872 (1 of 1872 ), or the Bankers' Books Evidence Act, 1891 (13 of 1891 ) or
(b) to apply to a letter, postcard, telegram or other document or any parcel or thing in the custody of the postal or telegraph authority.

 

You can seek for documentary evdence as per CrPC 91, sub section 3 to forfiet her allegation for all 498A and 125 cases. Sample petition of CrPC 91 is there in my link.

Also in 498a pvt complaint can my presence not be exempted till their argument is over ?

 

This is a very important question. I saw people are very tensed in this. You can make a petition U/S 205 CrPC for permanent exemption by showing your job condition. The court will not hurt you career.

 

You will be represented through your representative (Attorney General, lawyer) before the court of law. Let other accused (Your parents, relative) appear. You should not come physically.

 

Please apply for Speedy Trial on priority.
