no proofs are required at the time of filing FIR / case of 498a 406 by wife

all her statements are presumed prima facie true, without the need for any proofs

Whereever you read it, it is misleading.

I Agree with Mr. Shonee Kapoor. You simply state your version to the I.O. Let the list be filed into court, onus of proof shall lie with the complainant. Simply deny "List" to I.O.

(a) shall be prepared at the time of the marriage or as soon as possible after the marriage;

(b) shall be in writing;

(c) shall contain,-

(i) a brief descripttion of each present;

the bridegroom or of any other person or persons present at the time of the marriage.

I already told the list is not valid as per DP-2 but it is enough to file 406 and police take it and court also take it like her facts of material.

Cases is fight on merit not on argument with seniors. No body will listen if you shouted and say "The list is not valid" hence 406 is false..

Be calm and make some strategy..

This is an Amendment done in 1985, and this is supposed to be followed but when you reach the police station upon calling you get afraid and sign the list and the police show that list as the list signed at the time of marriage. 
Do not get afraid this 406 is only applicable upon trust breach of an agreement. If you are sure you have signed the agreement then there is point of worrying, in fact, get happy if you have such a case in your dowry case.
