Lookout circular on matrimonial issue

My brother is a US citizen and he got married to a India woman in India.The relationship between them dit not work so well so after 2 days of marriages they had issues and he left India.

 

His wife is living in India in her parents home.As far as i know she threatened to file 498a case but till now we did not receive any notice or heard anything.Only we received a call last month on ny phone from the CAW cell that we should come and visit them but other that this call we did not receive any letter or any other calls.

 

Now my brother is visiting India after 2years.Is it possible that there can be a LOC issues against him withoutany notice or anything without our knowledge.Also he is a US citizen so other than his name there are no documents available to the girls family.

 

Thanks

Manjeet

@ Author,

 

1. The legal position is that statutory bodies like NCW/CAW/DCW cannot make a request for the issuance of an LOC. Apart from the Central Government and the State Government there is no other authority on whose request an LOC can be issued.

 

2. Only after an FIR is registered with jurisdiction police station a officer not below the rank of DCP can sent a formal request in the prescribed format for opening up a LOC for named person.

 

3. Having made provisions of Law clear as in above two paras if you fear there has been an LOC opened up against your visiting brother and chances of his 'off loading' there against back drop of facts, then suggested to make personal visit to DCP office in jurisdiction Police District to find out the same and warn in advance your brother  and/or also take remedial measures accordingly.

Thanks a lot Tajosindia for your response.

 

As per your second point "Only after an FIR is registered with jurisdiction police station" 

Is that really possible for an Officer above rank of DCP to issue a LOC only by filing an FIR without any notice or court order or sending any information.As my brother is a US national and if a FIR is filed against him in India then is there no procedure of informing the concerned embassy of the nation of the person when such FIR gets issued ?

 

Also how can we really find the jurisdiction as the girls family is living in Delhi Uttam Nagar but she can file a FIR from any part of Delhi right ?

As per the documents attached in the below given website

 

https://maritaljustice.org/downloads/docs/LOC.pdf

 

It states the guidelines for publication of the LOCs in relation to Indian citizens issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs.Does that mean the LOC against a foreign citizen with PIO/OCI card holder is different ?

 

Also can LOC be issued without the knowledge of any identification number of the foreign citizen only with name ?

I found this LOC form and in this it clearly states that LOC can be issued only for 1 year and then needs to be extended.Also there is a column for passport Number and details of it and it seems that without passport details one cannot issue a LOC.Please correct me if i am wrong.

Thank you Raj123 for the information.

So what you say is if a police officer above the rank of DCP wants he can easily issue LOC against anyone without involving any judiciary or sending any court notice or summons.

Mentioned by Tajobsindia that The legal position is that statutory bodies like NCW/CAW/DCW cannot make a request for the issuance of an LOC.

 

But what about this low case in which NCW requested to issue LOC ??

 My brother left his wife because after marriage she told him that he is not her type and she was forced into marriage so she has to continue to live entire life with a man who is not her type.

ATTN PLS, am sending my testimony to everyone out there, that is either in my shoe or needs help one way or the other. My names is Henrietta, and i want to share with you all about my relationship breakup back then, which almost lead me to frustration and unhappy life experience. I was married to my ex divorced Husband 2 year and 11 months ago. My husband, I and and our pretty kid was happily living in peace and harmony. But, few months ago my Husband started acting strange to me. Unknown to me, he has been engaging him self online with another woman, which he was keeping from me as a secret. But few weeks ago, i caught him on our computer, mailing this woman. And, when i asked him who she was, he told me that, she was just a friend. The message conversation caught my attention and i decided to go through it. To my surprise, my husband have been dating this woman on my behalf for some period of time. Immediately, after i noticed that, i began to quarrel with him and all he could told me, was that he never loved me, that we should go for a divorce. I thought he was saying it from anger due to the situation at hand as at that moment. Because of the love i had for him, i never wanted to support it, although it happened, i still did not give up on him. I was looking for solution to get him back home. so i went in search on how i can get back my husband. Well, along my search, i saw a testimony of a woman on how Prophet Irabor was able to restore back her marriage home. Immediately, i copied the email address and decided to give a try. After following all the procedures and instructions given to me by Prophet Irabor, within the space of 2 days, my husband gave me a call and started begging me that he was sorry for what has happened between us. And because i love him so much, i quickly responded to him that i have forgiven him and told him to come back home. Me and my husband are now living happy married life again. All respect and honour to you Prophet Irabor, for the Help you have render to me and my family. Sir, i pray God Strengthen you...If you need his help, you can email him on (prophetiraborcharles@hotmail.com)
