All,

Myself and parents faced trial and all 3 of us have been acquitted of IPC 498A,406,34.
Case was filed in feb 2012. Initially I tried for quash using crpc 188, but soon I realized that the judiciary system and opp party is too happy to keep the case stayed and hanging for ages.

So I changed my strategy and jumped into trial....ofcourse with a direction from HC to finish the case expediously within 8 months. Another problem was I had LOC and bail condition of travel restriction.

So got my bail conditions waived off, got LOC removed, travelled back to USA, settled back in US and then started the trial.
Took exactly 6 months to finish the trial...and finally everyone got Acquitted today !!

Thanks to all the members of this group for reaching this far.

Congrats brother. Good work.

Congratulations brother. Wish you a happy new life ! :-)

congrates AAO

many congrats bro, well done

Felicitations"!!

Good Job Done...

Congrats Mate. Good to hear an acquittal after fighting 498a on merits. Quash is only a money spinning machine for lawyers in most cases.

good brother
myself also facing same problem fir lodged in fbe 2014 got to know about it through rti in june. yesterday io called for investigation. i went and lodged a statement that i am willing to take back my wife and two children and that there is no things of wife with me.
on 27th i have to go with my reply and whatever proof or contradictions i have. kinldy guide me urgently. fighting without a lawyer...

Palakaran, whatever u do, just do not admit to any allegation. Do not sign any document or statement prepared by the IO. They can not force u to sign anything. It's the law. If they ask u questions that u do not wish to answer, just keep quiet. They can not force u to talk. That's also the law.

brother palakaran

also if possible also inform your advocate about current situation and asked him to be ready on 27th, and whatever the situation you come across never ever admit anything and
Always say i i want her in my life thats all.

thanks for the suggestions.
i have started preparing reply hope to do a detaield reply. denying the allegations and instead alleging criminal conspiracy on the part of wife mother adn also requesting for investigation on 3-4 different points which may nail them. i think with detailed reply and i will sign on all the pages is it ok.
yesterday when meeting the io i asked him he said that otherparty statement has not been taken and statement first from your side.

Not to Hijack the thread, palakaran, I have PM'ed you.

Let's keep this thread to the messages for acknowledging @AAO efforts and salute his success.

In my judgment....court has categorically mentioned the case to be an 'after thought' filed after a delay of more than 13 months, which has proved fatal for the prosecution.

@AAO, is your judgement report-able, if yes, please provide the link.

Congrats Brother...!!!

Congrats Bro. Hope you got full freedom now (i mean divorce)

Unlike many....I never discussed about any compromise with the opp party....since am in no hurry to get married again....divorce is not my priority either.
