Maintenance-dvc

prove it before the court that she is able to maimtain herself, the court may reject her maintenance

Collect all the evidences and show them before court and prove that she is able for her maintenance, if court satisfied It may rejects her maintenance petition .

As you have stated that she is not dependent on you it means to say that she is a working women having sufficient means to survive or having her own independent source of income . If that is the case that maintanence wont be awarded . 

In your DV act you have not stated what are the reliefs she has asked for for eg Right to residence , protection order ,compensation and maintanence .

Relief ie maintenance [rent, alimony] can only be granted only if an act of domestic violence is proved in court. If no Domestic violence has occurred... then no relief can be granted to the petitioner.

in short.. NO DV = No relief.

 

But that is not that easy as it looks. It takes minimum 5-6 years to come out of DV case, guilty or not is secondary. Better ask your wife to withdraw such case against you. Mostly such cases are filed to squeeze money out of you. Ask her how mch she is expecting from you. Pay her money and take MCD from her. These litigation processess will go on and on and on and on...

Can she take the DVC back?

he he :-) ;-)  looks like wife showed you red apple and you got carried away . Its like the story of Adam and Eve . Yes DV can be withdrawn by her . But 498 A cannot be withdrawn it has to be quashed in the high court .
