Sir,

 

I feel that when the parties have not stayed togather in Canada even for a single day, how can she have jurisdiction to file a complaint against the boy in Canada.

 

Second thing is so far India is concerned, what are the allegations made would be relevant to answer any query. 

 

Warm Regards

Sir, more information is required in-order for us to help you fully. The notice that you have received, is it for domestic violence or 498A? Both are different cases. Has the notice been sent from the court, police station or women's cell or any other authority?

Thanks for your support.

Girl filed Police Case in INDIA 

, not in Canada for Domestic Violence and Dowry, other

charges, against My Nephew’s entire family in Canada.

Vijay Raj Mahajan (Advocate)     05 February 2016

This fellow is a Canadian citizen who is domiciled in Canada not India, so the first thing the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955 shall not apply on him under section 1 (2) of the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955.

Secondly the criminal complaint under the DV Act and FIR u/s 498A, 406, DP Act etc. for cruelty and dowry demand will go not go ahead in Indian court unless the accused that are almost all Canadian living in Canada are served with notice and produce themselves in Indian court or before Indian authorities in India. If they fail to do it what maximum the court can do is to publish a written proclamation u/s 82 of the Cr.P.C against them to appear in the court that publication takes place in Indian newspaper and after that if no other local accused against who charges framed close the file to be consigned to record.

Another step the court or the police authorities can do is to issue look out circular against the accused living outside India and when any of them enters Indian territories through international airport/sea port they are taken in custody by security and handed over to police of the district where the FIR was registered. The LOC is valid for one year and can be further extended too for another year. After the LOC validity expires these accused cannot be taken in custody by security staff as no record continues in their system at the international airport/sea port.

As far getting the accused taken is custody with help of Interpol by issue of red corner notice is concerned that is not so easy as the red corner notice is against most wanted offended usually involved in international terrorist activities not the people involved in matrimonial offences.

So what these guys do, take annulment of marriage in Canada if they so desire and avoid coming to India for next two to three years.

Thanks Vijay Raj Mahajan for detailed answer.

Sir, my nephew and his  family being canadian citizen,  living in Canada how Indian court /police server notice / produce themselves in Indian court? is there any standard set of procedures to be followed? Can some individual person show up in Canada or Canadian police show up to server the notice ? Please advise

srk (Service)     11 February 2016

Canadian Police can intervene if only similar kind of law exists in Canada and is deemed criminal. Indian Court might server you the notice via mail. obviously NBW will be issue if they attend the court and later LOC, as your nephew and his family are canadian Citizens, there is no issue with passport impound, extradition is almost impossible.

Mr. V R Mahajan Thanks a lot for your explaning the validity of the LOC, i was under the impression that LOC once issued is valid until it was requested to be reverted. Found few more details of LOC, hope this will help few who think they cant go back to India once a LOC is issued.

LOOK OUT CIRCULARS (LOC)
The Look Out Circulars are opened to trace the absconding criminals and also to prevent
and monitor effectively the entry or exit of persons who may be required by law enforcement
authorities.
1. The basic substantive guidelines regarding the publication of the LOCs in relation to Indian citizens issued by the MHA enunciate the following four cardinal principles:
2. The request for opening of LOC is required to be made to all immigration Checkposts in the country in the Official Format prescribed by the MHA.
3. The request for opening of LOC must invariably be issued with the approval of an Officer not below the rank of Deputy Secretary to the Government of India/Joint Secretary in the State Government/ Superintendent of Police concerned at the district level.
4. The originating agency must ensure that complete identifying personal particulars of the person, in respect of whom the LOC is to be opened, are clearly mentioned in the prescribed proforma. The LOC will not be opened for less than three identity parameters other than name of the subject.
5. An LOC is valid for a period of one year. However, in case the originating agency wants to extend the validity beyond one year it can ask for the extension before the expiry of the one year period. If no request is made for the extension of the LOC within the stipulated period of one year, the Immigration Officer concerned is authorized to suspend the LOC.

 obviously NBW will be issue if they dont attend the court dates and later LOC

SOLOMON.RAJ (advocate/director)     26 February 2016

Go by what Vijay raj says, and also seek an anticipatory bail in the criminal matters filed in India by her so that even though your nephew and his famiy  come to india the airport police or the local police cannot arrest them.

But on the event of coming to India the prosecution may seek the seizure of pass ports of all the accused .
