Dear Forum Members,
My marriage took place in ABC City.
My wife filed a 498a Case against me @ her convenient place i.e. my wife's parental jurisdicition.
I filed a Police Complaint against bride's family for DP3, after receiving the copy of Complaint/FIR/Charge-sheet through RTI.
To my complaint Police called me personally and said that they cant take the complaint as the offence[DP3 - Dowry giving/abetting] in ABC City.
Query:
1)What to do?
2)I dont have DP4 charges agaisnt me, but they claimed that gave dowry to me at the time of marriage. Can i still file DP3 U/s 156(3)
3)What would be the jurisdiction.
4)Will my case gets admitted in City ABC enclosing copies of
Complaint/FIR/Charge-Sheet when 498acase booked @ my wife's parental jurisdicition.
5)Or will they transfer the case.
Please advice.

Yes you can file the complaint if the opposite party has violated any law
If they have not filed the DP against you, You can also file the DP
jURISDICTION WILL BE WHERE THE CAUSE OF ACTION HAD ARISEN IE YOUR HOME PLACE WHERE THEY HAVE TRANSFEERD THE MONEY/VALUABLES
No it has nothing to do with 498a
