Hello Respected Members,
Needless to say how abusive Dowry Laws in India are becoming and we are one amongst several thousands of victims who are implicated in false dowry cases. We(6 members) have been slapped with 498a and 3&4 of DP Act. By god's sake, we could able to approach Hon'ble High Court, Andhra Pradesh and got the stay of arrest in time to avoid arrest, however we had to surrender A-1 and get him back on regular bail in 3 days. Let me give you some brief information abt the case before posting my question.

- Wife filed 498a , 3&4 of DP act in July 2009 at her native (This is for various one sided demands like transferring property to her name, hubby to cut off relations with his family etc etc.. it will take away 10 pages to list her wish list)
Except for their marriage, hubby never visted wife's home town during their 8 months of marriage and in FIR wife clearly mentioned that she is working in Govt. Organisation in Hyderabad. Here is the first para extract of Charge Sheet filed by Police. Isn't this a clear violation of Jurisdiction by the police who themselves agreed that all the incidents occured prior to the date of FIR at Hyderabad? Kindly pass me your valuable suggestions if this can be a clear case for
1. Transfer of Case to Hyderabad
2. A ground for quashing Charge Sheet.
