I hope someone can help me please.
My mum is in India and has been wrongfully accused under the Harijan Act - she has written official proof that on the date she was meant to have committed the offence she was not actually in the state. The claim has been made in Utter Pardesh. This was approx 3 years ago
Since then there has been much to-ing and fro-ing to try and get the case heard and finished.
She attended court on one day when the case was meant to have been heard but was told that the court was on strike and she couldn't submit required papers. Apparently, this was not correct and as a result a warrant was issued for her arrest for non attendance at court.
She found a lawyer who advised her to go to Allahabad High Court. In Allahabad they have given her 30 days to raise bail and asked that the case be heard in UP "as soon as possible". In the meantime, she has been allowed to go to her home.
She has been visiting India and is a UK Citizen - She is fed up now and just wants to come home to the UK and be with her family. She's 72 and is struggling.
What are her options - can she just pay the bail and come home - or could it be another three years before the case is heard and does she have to stay there?
Please can anyone help? We really don't know what to do and need help.
Many thanks
