your query need some more details. i feel the stated particulars not enough to clear you doubt.,

whats the status of divorce case? who is the petitioner in divorce case? its fresh case or already long pending.

M/s. Y-not legal services (Expert) 28 November 2011
if she petitioner or.,

if you are petitioner and she filed counter statement mean she can not reverse from her stated words.

Whatever you show during the investigation, the Police would do whatever it wish to and most likely it would submit charge sheet under the sections preferred by the wife.
Even if certain sections are removed at the time of submitting charge sheet that is not going to affect the divorce case in any way.

Though she can make changes in the diovrce petition by way of amendment of pleading , that is not going to make much effect in the criminal case.

any one can file amended pleadings.. if your wife do so mean your case will more chance to succeed. dont worry.

The procedure to lead same facts in both cases is entirely different so family court is not bound by the judgment passed or enquiry made in 498A IPC case. Same is the story with the petitioner. She may or may not add or subtract any pleading from this petition on the basis of results of 498A as the same is not going to affect materially, however, husband can be benefitted if the same allegations stand mentioned in divorce petition.

hi

I am aware of the fact, no matter how much proof i provide to police they would ignore that they would file chargesheet in wife favor.

My question common charge made in 498a and divorce can be removed based on cross questioning in other case.

For example, I am accused of slapping my wife on a date which i am not in even state. Can she remove /modify charges in divorce petition, since Ihave provided proof to police.

Second, it is mentioned that I had fight with girl family in open during marriage cermoney for dowry. Can this charge in petition be removed now, since they now realse I would show marriage video to show how happy everyone was on that entire day.
Also, I would get lot of witness for that same.

It is difficult to amend the pleadings once the WS is given, it can be amended only if the said fact was not in knowledge of the party.

Concentrate on better things dude.
