498a and dvc on in laws after death of husband

Legally wedded wife has equal claim over her husband's properties alongwith non-earning parents, and dependent young siblings. 

Filing 498A & Dv against in-laws after the death of her husband and after already having left the matrimonial residence is unfructuous.

Employer is within his rights to withhold the effects of the demised employee on receipt of an objection from one of the beneficiaries.

Defending the 498A & Dv cases and filing legal demands with the employer for the effects of the demised employee are the only options.

Dear Querist,

A list of legal remedies that one can use for protection against section 498a IPC if a woman decides to misuse the law and threatens to register a false case against you for personal gains.

Collect all Evidence & Documents: The first step in proving a false accusation would be to gather all substantial material elaborating well on the 498a case details.

Get an Anticipatory Bail: If you think your wife may file an FIR under Section 498A, hire a criminal defense lawyer and get an anticipatory bail to prevent yourself or your family member’s arrest. Anticipatory bail is like a precautionary bail in case police move ahead to arrest you or your family members. You can file for anticipatory bail for protection against section 498a IPC case under Section 438 of CrPC[1].

Get the 498a FIR Quashed: You can also get the false 498A FIR quashed by High Court under Section 482 of CrPC. Courts are generally reluctant to quash an FIR or interfere in the law and order process, but if you have sufficient proof, the court has the power to quash the false 498A FIR filed by your wife.

File an FIR against your wife for false 498A complaint: You can also file an FIR against your wife for blackmailing or filing a false 498A case against you. Police in India usually do not favor such FIR, but if you make your case foolproof, the police cannot deny you to file an FIR against your wife. Get your complaint drafted by a good criminal lawyer so that the police cannot reject it on any grounds. If the police refuse to register your FIR, you can file Nhi written complaint against the police officer, with the Superintendent of that police station.

File a case for Restitution of Conjugal Rights: If your wife has left her matrimonial home and went back to live with her family, you can file a case for RCR i.e. restitution of conjugal rights against your wife under Section 9 of Hindu Marriage Act(2). You can mention all the terms and conditions that she’ll have to follow to start living with you once again.

File a defamation case against false 498A case: You can also file a defamation case against your wife for maligning your image by filing a false 498A case against you. 

While fighting the 498a case, the duration of the case will depend largely on the evidence produced before the court and how efficiently your lawyer fights in the court representing your case.

First of all, it was wrong on your part interfere and manipulate in the disbursement of death benefits to the wife of the decased brother. Such benefits are not the assets of the deceased employee which devolve upon the legal heirs. They are the entitlement of the 'Family' as specifically defined. And for a married person, the wife is the principal beneficiary. For instance, Section 2(h)  of the Payment of Gratuity Act defines 'Family" as follows -

2(h) "family", in relation to an employee, shall be deemed to consist of - (i) in the case of a male employee, himself, his wife, his children, whether married or unmarried, his dependent parents [6] [and the dependent parents of his wife and the widow] and children of his predeceased son, if any   ......................................

The wise course is to let the law take its course.

As reagards to the cases filed, you have option to get them quahed if the charges are baseless.
