Dear experts,
A case has been filed against my family under section 500 IPC & ¾ of D.P.A. on the complaint of the girl’s family. They have made allegations that they have given xxx, yyyy things & 2 lakhs, 1.5 lakhs etc . money during engagement and on the day before marriage, we hv threatened them & refuse to marry if they will not give a car.
Marriage has never taken. The case is under lower court. Our lawyer has appealed under section 239 D.P.A. quoting section 199 & dowry act section 10 and case is fabricated & false liable to be quashed. After 4 years, the ADJ court has withdrawn section 500 IPC & directed the CJM court again to analyse the case under section ¾. Now case is going on we only get new date each time. In these four years they hv not attended any hearing, only government advocate is present every time. One year has been again passed they doesn’t come for witness/ to give evidence. Legal notices has been sent to them , they have never responded.
In such circumstances, can you advice how do we move forward to get rid of these fabricated allegations asap. How long legal process will wait in such case? Can we pressurize court to take decision in our favour in the absence of their response.
regards,
