498A - Few questions

Hi all , My wife has taken my car in my absence (I was not in india) for which i was paying the EMIs. Now she has filed 498A in the court . My parents have got AB and I am trying for AB from HC.

Can i put some complaint for she taking away my Car in this way? I am in no mood for any compromise and ready to face the cases as I have not done anything wrong. So I am looking for ways to file cases on them also. 

She left her job  even after promotion and hike just to harress me.

first of all pls tell me which district/state you belong and from which district/state your belong. Where your wife has filed the case.

I am asking this question since in rural areas courts are prone to  influence by local pressures but this is not case in Urban or Big metros areas like mumbai, delhi  etc.

Hi , At present i am in Pune . My parents are in Noida and my wife is in Yamunanagar haryana , where she filed the cases . I think lower courts are just for passing the time in India be it city/rural

You do the following things to reduce your suffering:

1. Ask your lawyer to get PERMANENT EXEMPTION from court for your parents. After getting it your parents need not to go to court. They shall be called only when required.

2. Do not go to court on every hearing. Ask your lawyer to get atleast 2 month date and skip one date and attend other . It shall give you alleast 3-4 month between the hearings.

3. File police complaint for illegally taking away your car by your wife. Your wife shall have to come to police station from Yamuna Nagar for enquiry. Manage the things ...........

4. Engage a local lawyer to manage the things since local lawyers know better the local courts practices

Pls take a AB from HC first & then think of filling any complaint against your wife. 

In case you want to get more harassed financially (police will ask for bribe from you also for filling any complaint), you can file complaint against her but pls beware, she can also file several cases against you.

Have you tried resolving this issue with her...

Aman (Senior Lead)     23 September 2010

Well I know the counter cases are only going to increase the fight.. but points are

1. She has filed this case for money , greed - so she will def file more cases even if I don't

2. Until I put pressure on them , they are not going to talk to us in mutual terms . We tried speaking to her , but she only wants money that too in advance. So her intentions are very clear.

3. In her family , though they are with her , but nobody wants any involvement in cases or to come to court even , she comes alone. Now this is her weak point and I somehow want to hit her.

4. I have got this gift even I have not done anything wrong and I know in this country women are geting undue advantage when she is clearly more qualified than me and was earning a good amount of money.  So def somewhere I have to stand for this .

Initially you said  "I am in no mood for any compromise and ready to face the cases as I have not done anything wrong." and now you are saying "Until I put pressure on them , they are not going to talk to us in mutual terms"

Decide whether you are ready for Long term fight or a Mutual Settlement in a amicable manner?Once you get into this mode of Fillig & counter fillig cases, it just prolongs the case...At later stages , mutual settlement becomes tougher(is applicable on both the parties). you are saying, She's fighting alone, then she can react more strongly if her lawyer suggests so

Best way to resolve a matrimonial issue for both the parties is to settle amicably. every single day adds to the age. Ultimately it is mutual settlement. If you have come to conclusion that this marriage cannot be saved then mutual settlement is the best answer. Multiplying litigation neither helps wife nor the husband. Mediation is one remedy to break the impasse.The delay will harm you emotionally.

Well u know why in this type of cases , guy even when he is not guilty compromise just for his family , parents and law is drafted in this way for this reason. extortion tool.

Now I know time is most imp , but do u think , a greedy person can think  in this line. This is all for money.

Now if girl thinks that she can pressurize and ask for anything - lawyer whatever - what can a guy do , you caanot satisfy unsatiable greed. So it is better to fight . I want to put pressure so compromise happens at mutual term , not extortion.

I know cases will prolong only , but than which country allows its matrimonial issues to fall under criminal law and that too like us corrupt people. I know I have to fight and it will be a long battle for me . Is there any other option?

It is difficult to decide if mind is full of anger, negativity & revenge. When a marriage fails - Both the spouses are to be blamed. If you really intend to compromise later also, why not now.... Prolonging the case will add upto sufferings for the entire family(which she would want ) . what if the girl thinks on the same line" I want to put pressure so compromise happens at mutual term".

1)Try the mediation through court(Where court appoints impartial mediator(Lawyer) who helps in  the settlement ,logically)

2) Wife can claim monthly/Permanent  alimony via court meanwhile.

3) Pls calculate loss  in long term(time, career, money & peace, mental agony for family also).

4)  Be positive, discuss with your family & weigh the pros & cons.

P/s - There r ppl who ll suggest ways/method(in their interest) to go for long term battle & few ppl will show peaceful ways to resolve. Good Luck !

You are correct sir , and even my parents tried for same as settlement. So panchayat got involved and we reached on settlement conditions signed by her brother in front of panchayat. 
 
But latter she kept on changing her stance in front of court , that I want this , that etc , I want complete money in full in advance only. Whereas we wanted it to be done in stages .
 
Anyway her intentions are only to take money and then who knows she will say I want more money. Her lawyer is telling her , don't worry we can extract more , they are so willing so compromise etc etc
 
And then I came in picture and told them clearly , either this settlement or go ahead.
 
Now she was working , earning a good package , is more qualified than me and I have many proof regarding her lifestyle also , where I lost my job , she ran away from home and was enjoying life with guys and spending hevy amount on Credit card , and I though was out of job was payign EMI for Car which she was using. 
 
She broke my trust , respect everything. I generally respect women who can stand on there own and succed , afterall same education was provided by her parents as mine . But seems people prefer begging than working hard to earn respectfully.
 
Now you tell me how to go for mutual settlement, nobody from there family is coming ahead and they have no social circle left now . I fyou go there city and ask for her , you will get shat is her and her family reputation left
 
So isn't fight a better thing than?

sunilkumar (law student)     26 September 2010

Hi Aman,

Need Clarity on few things

1) Were you paying her credit card bills? If yes, then this allegation is of some use.

2) Most imp Thing - Have you got your AB yet?

3)Lawyers never recommend girls side to approach for settlement. Want to get out of this mess, one of your family member may initiate settlement again . It might work..

4) After AB, you always have the option of going for further fight if nothing works

Aman (Senior Lead)     26 September 2010

Well , 1. Credit card bills - no in a way , as though i was paying her bills - but she was transfering the money back to me as it was exp for her official petrol.

2. My AB is not yet , hearing is for tomorrow in HC.

3. I don't know if we can approach them again , as there is no body in there family to talk to ; though we have sent a message to her bro already.

4. Me ready for fight . Also i was paying all the EMIs for car which she took away and when i was not working ,she left me and enjoying life partying - I have her credit card stmnt as well as few photographs

sunilkumar (law student)     28 September 2010

 

Hi Aman,

1) If she has paid you through cheque, bank statements can prove  for credit card

2)  hearing status of AB today? Once your Ab is through, Things would be easier for you

3) Any update on settlement from Girl side?

4) Any kind of money exchanged  for car loan with  wife? Filling complain with police is preferred once you are through with AB

Aman (Senior Lead)     28 September 2010

Yes Sir

1. She has transfered money online , so I can prove that. There are so many proves I have , but it will take long time I think to put it.

2. I got my AB and would be applying for regular bail soon.

3. No from girl side no body came for settlement ,as nobody bothers in her family. She comes to court alone even HC with her lawyer to create a false drama:)

4. She paid few of the EMIs (7-8) out of 60 as she was one who was used it for office etc. Even that she transfered to my bank acc sometimes only.

5. I am planning to make a conspiracy case, as she took my Car when I was not here , her mother came here and I have recordings where she threatned me about women centric laws in india, then she got my father's account statement (she was working in icici bank) somehow(as I was not working and she knew I don't have any money) and was telling everybody that my father has this much of money and they should not have any problem in paying her. Why should he pay , just coz he has an idiot son like me ?

Pl get the AB first, and then concentrate on the second case against your wife. Considering various demerits & misuse of Sec 498A, Government  has already tabled for final decisions the recommendation & amendments in this regard.
