My queries are:

1 Since Police had acted purely on the fake list and has not followed the procedures of Rule 2 of Dowry Prohibition rules and opposed our bail application which violates the perosnal liberity of my family members?
What action could be suggested for enforcing fundamental rights ??

2 Since chargsheet is filed purely on the basis of forged list without mentioning of the claimed sources of the funds, cash flow money ect..whether complaint can be made to DGP rank officers to issue directions to police to give undertaking in trial court that their investigation was not in accordance with the rules
