Charge sheet filed with witnesses for the 498a

Dear Mr Prashanth,

It's part and parcel of  a "Trail" in any criminal case.

Hope you have appointed a good criminal lawyer to defend your case.

Do you have any specific questions?

Thanks,

hi, there is no problem if ur not harassed her there is no problem in 498a if 3 & 4 dp act u may other one to prove it

the family members are also called as 'interested witnesses' though the initial statement of the witnesses have a bearing on the case,  you can cross them in the cross examination. you can claim if they have really  seen the incident or the harrassment happen in the front of their eyes, have they filed any police complaint? or if their statement is only based on 'hearsay' given by their 'sweet' daughter.  witness statement is given bearing only when all other circumstancial evidence also point out to the fact stated by the woman. so only if a witness says that he or she saw something, it is only a part of the evidence and not complete evidence. but in the end, it all depends on case to case. 

dear bro,

if the witness state that they gave dowry, then you have two options-

1) to defend ur case strongly; or

2)on the basis of that statement, register FIR against them, as both giving and taking of dowry is punishable. ater that,both parties will come in a compromising situation. 

never admit in any cross examination regarding you demanded any dowry and simply say that they had given it as their gift to their daughter and to show their status in the society they gifted jewels and other things to their daughter
