Process of Police in 498A

Hi,

 

Just want to know if my wife lodges complain against me and my family us 498A, DPA etc then what is the procedure Police follows. Will they arrest us immediately or first they simply write the complain & lodge FIR after some investigation only. I want to know this so that I can apply for arrest stay in Allahabad HC as no AB provision is there in UP.

Dear thre is no such thing like arrest stay. 498-A is a non bailable offence. So Police has power to arrest you without warrant. Please engage a good lawyer and dont wait when your wife will lodge FIR against you. Prepare your case first. You must lodge complaint against your wife causing cruelty upon you and not performing matrimonial obligations and threatening you to implicate in fase and fabricated case of domestic violence. and have a copy of this coplaint in your possession. this document will help you at later stage when your wife lodge a complaint against you.

for further help you kmay contact me 0n- advocatemusabbir@gmail.com

The Police, The Laws And Your Rights:

 

Until your case ends up in the trial court, the police will be your primary adversary. This is what the SSP of Haridwar, Abhinav Kumar IPS, has to say about the Indian Police force (https://tinyurl.com/2zev8w):

 

“Let me start with the police. They remain primarily an instrument of asserting state authority against whosoever is perceived by the Leviathan to be the most immediate threat. In return for servility and acceptance of the beast’s priorities, they are permitted to prey on the weakest and most helpless sections of society. A police station in India is a sordid monument to the worst in human nature. The squalor, the pressures, the often thankless nature of police work would all be bearable if one felt that the police were genuinely enabled to enforce the law and protect the weak and helpless.”

 

He uses the term leviathan; I would have used the phrase, “reigning political establishment”.

I hope you now understand the nature of the Indian police force.

You will be able to deal with them if you know your fundamental rights, the laws and judgments governing the Indian police and are informed about the process of Indian criminal justice.

 

Legal systems all over the world have been based upon the common maxim of “ignorantia juris non excusat”, which means that ignorance of the law is no excuse. The principle, had first originated in the Code of Justinian the great centuries ago. By the time you are done reading this section, you will know more about your rights and the limitations on the powers of the police than the police themselves. When the police feign ignorance of the laws, you should be telling the police, “ignorantia juris non excusat”.

The Supreme Court Of India is the final arbiter over and interpreter, of all laws. The interpretation of laws is done through judgments. Here are some Supreme Court judgments that detail your Fundamental Rights and some other laws that will be useful in fighting your 498A.

The police will say that 498A is a cognizable offence. By cognizable, it means they have to REGISTER an FIR and INVESTIGATE, not arrest the accused immediately.  Think about it. If a king has been stripped of his power to arrest without cause 800 years ago, how can the police in a democracy claim to have that power?

Keeping these judgments in mind, I am interested in seeing how a grandmother or a grandfather, young nieces and nephews, married and unmarried sisters and parents, without a prior criminal record, can fall into any of the categories described by Justice M.N. Venkatachalliah.

To summarize, the police have discretionary powers to arrest, but they need to justify the arrest and Supreme Court and High Courts judgments have established that some investigation must be done before an arrest is made and even then, only if necessary.

u can approach the Hon'ble High court of Allhabad under section 482 Cr.P.C. and ask for stay of arrest. Every state has its own amendment inaccordance with the situation and circumstances u better seek advise of the local lawyer.
