Mr. Teja,
When your parents and brother have already been put in jail for the last two months, I wonder to know how you are taking the case lightly. Must hire service of some capable lawyer to contest the case, if not done so far, as case under sections 304b/498a should not be taken as an ordinary case.
When the case has already been initiated and your parents & brother have already been put in the jail, the case cannot be tried according to your wishes when you state, "we dont want to roam around courts." Your parents and brother will have to go to the court whenever date is fixed and to plead your case.

Defend the cases against your parents etc., no short cut.
Engage some good local lawyer and proceed.
Almost all accused never want to come to court / police station but law and procedure has to be followed for justice.

Sir,is there any possibility of tranfering case from one place to other place.Coz she committed suice in a place called Anantapur which is 1000km from our native place,where my brother used to reside.

No the case cannot be transferred according to the accused whims and fancies.Suicide after 20 days of marriage is registered as a suspicious death and that too in matrimonial home.Hence fight UR case on merits,if U have any,along with a capable,intelligent and a competent lawyer.

There is no shortcut to face this case. You may have to face the court for trial and challenge them on merits.
