In your case trial appears to have gone very long and probably due to absence of one accused.  The is clearly against the right to speedy trial which is recognised as a part of fundamental rights.

 

It appears that by now you have also gone to highcourt and must be having a loand of 5-10 Kgs of papers and without seeing these papers no practical advise can be givne to you.

 

SO meet a good lawyer near your place.

You can approach High Court for deleating name s of your other family members from the case as the one accused your brother is not attending the trials. Under Sec 428 , Engage a good Advocate who should make efforts to get cognizance of the Sec 125 Judgement where both the parties with a common consent has admitted that there was no torture and cruelty was made by the members of the family of the Husband.

Though both the cases, u/s 125 Cr.PC and 498A of IPC has nothing to do with each other, owing to the long pending and inordinate delay in disposal of the pending case, you can move an application before the high court to quash the same based on the previous incidences as well as present prevailing circumstance, consult your lawyer and move further.

Please go to High Court and make a petition for speedy trial and get a order by directing the JM to dispose off the said case withing the period of 6 month.

 

Else the case will go for life long, never ending.

 

Conviction rate of 498A is 2% only which is rarest of rare, hence don't worry.
