Hi,
I am facing 498a/125 crpc/child custody/section 97 cases filed by my wife. In all these cases I am respondent and am on regular bail in 498a since a year now. 498a trial has not yet started however chargesheet is filed in mar-2010
Recently I got a call from a police station nearby my inlaws house asking me to come for a statement related to streedhan. I have asked for a time near to this weekend and they agreed. I tried asking for more details but they simply told that your wife has filed case to get sreedhan back and we need your statement.
I talked to my lawyer and he told me that my wife might have filed 406/420 etc. and no need to worry but I have heared that these are non bailable offence.
Just wanted to know from experts on
1) what could be case my wife/in-laws might have started against me
2) what should I do? and what precaution I should take,
3) Is there any possibility of an arrest?
4) any other advice which might be useful.
5) Is these non bailable?
Thanks,
PC

1. 406 or 506 or 484 IPC may be.
2. Since 406 ipc which is a strong possibility is a non bailable offence, apply for anticipatory bail.

1;sec 420 will not lie here
2&5:if they file a case u/s 420/406 then immediately get 438 from dist judge's court or high court, after granting bail go for quashing in respect of sec 420.
3.yes
4.yes.
