How to get justice

Some thoughts (assuming marriage done as per Hindu Marriage Act):

1. Think / discuss internally the 3 Lakhs + 50 K paid till date to grooms family, is it your family's legitimate income / earning / taxable income used for meeting dowry expenses ! This may sound too blunt but this looks case of giving and taking Dowry which are both punishiable under S. 3 / 4 DPA for both sides of family. Now depends who files it first :-)


2. The act of your BIL is called Adultry and is punishiable under S. 397 IPC for 5 years. You need to collect evidence of his second marriage before bring suits to Court.


3. Justice is a far cry for both sides hence I will not shed light on it more than following options;
(a) S. 498a IPC
(b) S. 3/4 DPA
(c) S. 12 DVA
(d) S. 125 CrPC
(e) S. 13 (1) (i) (ib)HMA R/w S. 24 HMA
(f) S. 397 IPC


4. The more important thing here is what does your sister really want?


5. You may discuss above and many more modalities of Justice delivery sysem in India by searching databse of LCI members.

DEAR ARUN JI,

IPC 397:: Section 397. Robbery, or dacoity, with attempt to cause death or grievous hurt. If, at the time of committing robbery or dacoity, the offender uses any....

PLS CORRECT IT AS S.497.

MY HUMBLE SUGGESTION TO THE LCI MEMBERS  ,PLS RENDER YOUR SERVICES IF HAVE ANY EXPERTISE/PRACTICE IN THE FIELD OF LAW. OTHERWISE THIS FORUM MAY CARRY WRONG SIGNALS TO THE COMMON PUBLIC.

Sh Reddy Garu,

Thank you. I stand corrected on my fast typo. errors !
Rgds.

SH ARUN JI IS CORRECT. MAY PLEASE FOLLOW HIM.

DESIRED STRONG RESULT YOU WILL GET U/S 494 IPC FOR BIGAMY (NOT 497 - IT PERHAPS NOT APPLICABLE IN YOUR CASE) ; IPC SEC 498A & DV ACT FOR - CRUELTY ETC; AND MAY PRAY DIVORCE U/S 13 (1) (IA) OF HMA.

MR DEEPAK AND MR REDDY : ATTENTION PLEASE.

494. Marrying again during lifetime of husband or wife.--Whoever, having a husband or wife living, marries in any case in which such marriage is void by reason of its taking place during the life of such husband or wife, shall be punished with imprisonment of either descripttion for a term which may extend to seven years, and shall also be liable to fine.

Exception.-This section does not extend to any person whose marriage with such husband or wife has been declared void by a Court of competent jurisdiction, nor to any person who contracts a marriage during the life of a former husband or wife, if such husband or wife, at the time of the subsequent marriage, shall have been continually absent from such person for the space of seven years, and shall not have been heard of by such person as being alive within that time provided the person contracting such subsequent marriage shall, before such marriage takes place, inform the person with whom such marriage is contracted of the real state of facts so far as the same are within his or her knowledge.

497.

Mr Deepak

Arup Sir is right 497 IPC will surely not applicable in your case 

Mr.P.Janardhana Reddy has no business to say that , Mr.D.Arun Kumar should not advise on this Forum, I Saw Lots of Answers as far as Family Law is concerned Mr.D.Arun Kumar is Far better than some one who do copy paste of text from some other sources and when it is replied with full of grammatic mistakes ,If Mr.Arun Kumar has done one typing error it is seen in wrong advice common Mr.Reddy don`t be hippocratic? 

Thanx to every one to suggest some thing fruitefull ..
