like many brothers i too am a victim of the 498a & DV act , below are my points in brief
1. Married in 2006 in Mumbai(Arranged marriage)
2. Wife came to abroad Jan 2007
3. She got a job in abroad In mid 2007
4. She left the country early 2008 and went to Mumbai and after a couple of days went to surat
5. She filed a private 498a case on Oct 2008 in surat , against Me ,my mother & my sister.We have never been to surat
6. We filed an appeal on Feb 2009 in Ahmedabad high court stating that the case is false and it cannot be filed in surat as we were married in Mumbai
7. The high court decision in 2009 was that a girl can file a case from the place she stays but the investigations officer has to look into the matter.
8. After that I got no update on 498a case
9. In April 2009 (before thehigh court decision ) she filed a Dv act case against Me,my mother & my sister
10 . I got a call from indian embassy in feb/12 that there is summon , it was the summon for the DV act case and the case date was on nov /11 , that means I got the summon after approx. 3 months of the case date.
AS far as i know there is no fir on 498a as it is a private complaint
The 498a & dv act have 90 % the same contents in addition maintenance is asked for and its
mentioned that she left behind her jewellery .
Q .Can the same case contents be filed for 498a & DV act , can dv act be quashed on the basis at 498a was filed earlier with same points ?
Q.Can dv act be filed against ladies ?
Q.Since it’s a private 498a case ,Can a fir for 498a be filed now after the complaint ?
Q.Would I need anticipatory bail if I got to attend the case
Q. If I file for divorce , will it be against me or a have negative impact on my cases?
what other steps can i take ? kindly advise
