Hello,
I would try to be brief on my doubts.
I was married to a girl without proper background verification of the family. My wife committed suicide in the second year due to lot pressures from her mother on separating me from my family, which I rejected. My inlaws along with Police filed false cases of 498a/304b and 306 on me and my family. The case came for trial and the only witness against us were my inlaws who stood on the stand and told lies about dowry harassment.
Judge acquitted my family stating that it wasmore out of anger from the in-laws side BUT convicted me on 498a/304b. It was ironical as my inlaws statements were more focussed on my family and lesser on me, but I was told by my legal folks that this is how they do in lower courts.
I applied for bail in High Court and got the same. My inlaws have placed a revision petition in High Court that case was not properly conducted in lower court and that all parties should be punished. I had appealed in High Court that my conviction was wrong. Both of this has been accepted in High Cort.
Recently, I heard from Police sources that they are going to appeal from their side to the High Court as my inlaws have already placed the revision petition and the police cannot keep quiet in such circumstances.
This is the background: Now my doubts:
1. Is this normal procedure for the police to appeal in high court?
2. What should be the normal process from my end to handle the situation in case the appeal comes up?
I have legal folks helping me on the case, but I though to have the opions of some experts here so I do not blindly follow the crowd.
Thanks.
Shiv
