Respected Sir/Madam,
One of my relative had filed 498A case against her husband last year in feb. Now the case is in court and my relative husband is attending the hearings in the court.Last week on mutual understanding in btwn both they decided to stay together but my relative doesn't withdraw the case b'cos she want to watch her husband behaviour for few days and then she will take the decision whether to withdraw the case or not. Two days back my relative husband came to her with 100 rs stamp paper and some receipts belonging to advocates mutually aided co-operative society and he said to her that he deposit some amount as FD in AMACS (hyderabad) on the names of his family members. Now he is asking her to sign on the blank 100 rs stamp paper, so that he can get back that money from AMACS for their personal needs and he also mentioned that if she doesn't sign or without her sign on that paper he will not get that money, so my doubt is that whether he is true or not or he is planning to come out of this case by taking signature of her on that blank stamp paper.
So, I kindly request you to give me a advice to my question.

The husband seems to be a total crook and he can never be believed for once.
Do not sign any document without getting checked by a lawyer. Beaware of him.

Any blank document / stamp paper should never be signed. If she is interested in accepting the version of the husband, she should ask him to complete the document and should sign after getting it checked by her lawyer / well wisher.

Don't sign on the blank stamp paper it can be used against you, don't believe on him .

There seems to be some foul play in the offing, never sign on any blank stamp or plain paper for any reason made to be believed. If at all the reason mentioned is satisfactory then ask him to reduce the same in writing on the same paper and read it and sign if found genuine or necessary.
