D/Sir,

I lives in Delhi. My estranged spouse lives in M.P. and the accused ( 3rd person) lives in Silvassa. The accused is in illegal relationship with my estranged wife and she enjoyed holidays in Maharastra and Goa for 3 days. I have got the call records and journey records of my spouse. This is a criminal offense and I want to register case against the accused person. I want to file FIR immediately.
Please suggest , where should I file this FIR.

NO FIR can be registered in such case. You have only remedy to file private complaint directly in court against the accused, for 497 IPC.

Remember it is very hard task to prove adultery having lots of adverse effects.

In what ay is the 3rd person accused?

As far as your query is concerned the accused according to it is your spouse.Can you establish authentic evidence against them if you file a case u/s 497ipc, for adultery?

Adv.R.P.Chugh (Expert) 28 June 2012
I agree with Ld.Arvind.

Adultery is very difficult to prove, but not impossible to prove. The Court won't obviously insist on a direct eye witness testimony, and all adultery offences are proved through circumstantial evidence only. Hotel Reciepts/Journeys/Call Records etc. would go a long way in bringing home the offence.

As regards the procedure FIR directly can't be registered since it's not a cognizalbe offence you'd have to file a complaint before magistrate and lead evidence.

Feel free to talk !

You can file complaint u/s 397 IPC but in absence of proof of physical relation the case would not lie.

at the place where crime (or part thereof) was committed.

rightly advised by Bharat

since its not a cognizable offence, FIR wont be registered...file private complaint and ensure proper evidence is collected.
