Unexpcted 498a, 406, 420 cases on the innocents

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 22 July 2011 This query is : Resolved 
Lawyer sirs,

Actually We didnt take any dowry and my parents didnt harass my wife. There were no proofs with us.
But I was told that in 498a and cases under DP Act, the complainant and her parents can put 'n' number of false allegations with no evidences.

Is it true?

The thing is we are nuclear families.
We do not have mediators also.
We married the girl by selecting from Matrimony websites.

We trusted the in-laws and married the educated and working daughter without taking any dowry as we have a principal in my family of "not to take dowry".

After marriage no one from either side of us stayed with us as we are newly married couple.
But the girl always work and comes late from work and get tired and shows no interest for family things.
One fine day she came from office and created a small argument to make me emotional and beaten me too and has gone to their parents house. Then after 2 months still staying away from me met Women cell police comissioner and as per that higher official suggested she filed 498a,406 cases with false allegations on all my people, relatives including me.

To be frank, our case is not at all related to dowry or any kind of harassment.
But in court to show our innocence, we need proofs which we do not have and which we never thought of.

what to do in this situation?
Pls suggest how to proceed.

First obtain bail and then think of proving your innocence.
At least half a decade time will be require to make that time come to prove your innocence.

thank you Barman saab for the immediate strength giving response.
I had got normal bail and we Anticipatory bail for my innocent relatives also sanctioned.
I opine we should wait for the chargesheet from the police.
But few ideas are needed from your lawyers's perspective so that we will try to collect evidences accordingly and show our innocence even though it takes 4-5 years. hope you understand my worry.

As per advice of Mr. Burman firstly took bail of all the persons who r named in F.I.R n then its duty of the prosecution to prove the allegation made on all of u.
