Caw cell - what to expect?

Forgot to add. Already spoke to my lawyer and he said that I should go to the CAW cell along with my family but without him (not sure if he is just giving excuse for not coming). He also asks to get the complaint copy in advance by hook or crook but I'm just not that connected.

Your lawyer is very right on mark. Follow his advice. Nothing more to add what he has told you.

Thanks Ms Ashimta!

request some first hand experience on the CAW cell as well?

Mr. Ajay, on receipt of official summons from CAW cell, as directed you all attend and make your appearance.  The people in the cell are also human beings only, nobody will do any harm to you or your family members at the first sight, apprise the situation there and consulting your lawyer over the issues raised there, proceed with the case accordingly.

mr ajay don't afriad. join siff. you can go alone or with your brother on first date. mediation in caw cell is binding so never give anything in written.usually 3 times meeting taken there failure of which leads to fir.attend weekly meetings of sif at patiyala house court on saturday evening or at rohini on sunday morning.always fee free to call me 09813032516 or mail me pawanrajyan@gmail.com

@Ajay, nothing to worry ! your lawyer is correct, there is not need to take him along, IO would try to put pressure on you to accept the terms your wife would dictate. They will try to scare you so that you surrender to their demands ! You need to have a strong presence in the CAW cell, so that her story dies there itself. IO has no power to arrest and as per the law IO will have to investigate 100% before recommending the case for further action like FIR etc. Even CAW mediation run for months before they reach to any conclusion. IO will inform you before the FIR is about to lodge, you can then apply for anticipatory bail.

Never give anything on black & white. Believe me if you have not done anything wrong, nothing wrong will happen to you and your family.

BTW Which CAW cell is this?

All the best !

Thanks for the advice @Varun.

I just want to be very sure that I can't be forced to give something in writing before knowing what the complaint is and what are the istridhan or articles demanded by my wife. Is there any ruling or something that I can take alongside to tell the IO that I can give something in writing once they furnish all the complaint details to me. I'm paranoid about this because I don't want to write something without fully knowing the repercussions and repent later. Especially, because my FIL is a person of money and has the capability to get people on his side by virtue of the same.

Actually, me and my family have done something wrong. Here is what we did:

- We had faith in the girl so when for the first time she left for her father's house, she left with all the jewellery kept at matrimonial house (istridhan) and we didn't knew about this until later. So if she asks for this istridhan again, we are screwed because she has everything and would pin the blame on us. Now how do we fight against 406 when she has already taken it and asking for it again?

@Varun, have PM you the CAW cell name since I don't want much to be available in public domain.

Hi Ajay,

We have gone thru  CAW cell in2012. MY DIL had involved me my husband and my son , we are otherwise only three members.

I have not gone to CAW cell ever. MY husband and my son went to CAW cell all thru.

On the first date we were made to wait  from 2pm till 6pm.  Since the DIL had  influence in women cell -theu were made sit in a cabin and were being offered tea  and samosas.  At  t 6 pm almost   most of the office was empty - IO asked my son about the case but we were not given copy of the complaint.  After coming out one of the staff came to meet my son and offered help demanded some; money and  referred to some room next day  pay Rs ... and you will get a copy of the complaint.

Now they have filed Charge sheet against us inspite of the fact that do not have any bills with them.  The girl says everythng was gifted to her from  our side and relatives of hers,

In case you need  to know more you can contace me on my e mail Kan_Mad2002@yahoo.co.in

AJAY, FIRST OF ALL BE BOLD AND STRONG TO FACE THE CAW CELL AS THEY ARE ALSO HUMAN BEINGS. ON 1ST HEARING YOU CAN GO ALONE, IF NOT ALONE YOU CAN TAKE YOUR BROTHER WITH YOU. AND MIND IT CAW CELL CAN'T COMPELL YOU TO WRITE ANYTHING IN WRITING. THEY ARE THERE JUST FOR MEDIATION OR CAN SAY CONSELLING. IF THEY COMPELL YOU TO SIGN ANYTHING, JUST REFUSE TO DO SO. AFTER 1ST VISIT TO CAW CELL, YOU WILL COME TO KNOW THE EXACT SITUATION OF YOUR CASE. FIRST ATTEND THE 1ST MEETING, THEN COME BACK AGAIN HERE WITH RISING QUESTIONS..

Thanks for all the help guys. Appreciate everyone's responses.

Ajay, Hope you are doing well.. I am in a similar pridicament as you are. Kindly tell what happened next and how did the process go for the first CAW meeting and hence.
