Hello,
I'm facing 376 and 506 from my brother's wife. Actually, its through a property matter. She wanted my father to transfer his house on her name. We all refused(including brother). So she filed the case against me. Its three months since then she and my brother are living separately.(She is still in my father's house and my brother and my father have come to my place). She has also filed DV case against the whole family.
My brother is having depression. But he has tolerated all this and doing his job well( She had informed his employer,but the employer supported my brother and also extended a helping hand )
In the 376 case, a lawyer said: In case you fail to prove your innocence,your brother's statement will not be taken valid by considering him mentally unstable.The judgement will be largely dependent on the petitioner's (my brother's wife) statement, which will be against you.So she must turn hostile to save you from this case. Is it so?
