Dv case

(Querist) 16 December 2016 This query is : Resolved 
This is with regard to Domestic violence case filed by my daughter-in-law.

Background in a nut shell

1) Earlier she complained to Police Control Room that she was being kept in captivity by her parents at her house and was not being allowed to go to sasural.

2) Next day she was kept in an asylum by her parents for about a month.

3) She was indoctrinated and as a result, she approached CAW Cell with a DV complaint demanding huge sum – needless to say “Greed is the binding force”.

4) She had filed an FIR u/s 498A/406 IPC against all of us. My son had applied for bail in trial court which was rejected, but High Court gave bail unconditionally and without any sort of bond etc. two months ago.

5) Now she has filed a case in the Family Court against all of us again with wild imaginations and concocted stories. Notice has been received addressed to all of us individually and NDOH is in February 2017.

6) There is incontrovertible evidence to show that it is a false and fabricated case and based on wild imaginations.


NOW THE QUERY


The question is whether I can take up my case myself in the family court with regard to notice received by me individually; while other family members have their own counsel.

Are there any possible negative effects in taking this step while other members of my family engage their own counsel? [Now I am doing mastery in law. I have experience in handling civil and criminal cases]. Collective wisdom of experts shall be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Yes you can take up your case indepe4ndently with the specific permission of the court. But close coordination of yourself and the lawyer of your other family members is a must to avoid any contradiction in presentations, otherwise negative effect in the case cannot be overruled due to any controversy to harm the interests of the family.

You can appear of your own.

It is always better to avail the services of a local lawyer.
