Charge sheet by Police

Thanks. Appreciate the reply/

 Under Section 299 of criminal procedure code, the investigation authorities can file charge sheet, and  case can be dispose  in absence of the absoncding accused. 

Hi, thanks for the reply I got earlier to my question. The Police are still not prepared to frame the CC. They are giving all sorts of excuses. We do not know what to do.

The wife had filed FIR for dowry harassment , absconding and not granting her legal recourse. .

 Meanwhile she applied for divorce in family court  and asked for maintenance. The divorce was granted ex-party and certain amount was granted  as one time settlement. The husband is still absconding

She has been advised by her husband’s lawyer that the money has been deposited in the family court. . The husband is still absconding .

Her in laws ( who are shielding the husband) are spreading the  rumour that her dowry case does not hold good now since she has been granted divorce by family court and settlement made.

If she accepts the 5 lacs from family court , will it mean that the 498A case may get weakened.?.

Is it true the dowry case can be quashed by high court based on family court ruling?

Kindly advise.

The police can conduct investigations and file chargesheet against all the accused .....

No the 498A case will not be weakened if the wife accepts the 5 lacs alimony amount ..... The High Court will not quash the 498A case just on the basis of the Family court's verdict ..... Infact the wife here has been granted an ex-parte divorce ........ which means that all her allegations/reasons for taking divorce have gone unchallenged .....
