This query is : Resolved
I have a question my 498A trial is about to begin will on the first date a copy of chargesheet will be provided to me and will I be required to present my reply against the charges on the second date. How and what happens on the first and second date.
The charges are 498A, 406, 3/4 DP Act. what if the opposite side claims that the streedhan is with me. I do have some articles that I want to return but the list that they have submitted is too large that were never part of the gifts so how does the case proceeds in such cases. what the CJM would ask me to return as the things that were not there I cant return.
Please Advise how to defend in such cases.

charge sheet with all supporting documents would be given to you and on next date you / your counsel would be asked to argue on charge framing. No reply is asked in writing. YOu would not be asked to return things as well , after charge is framed against you, the case will go to evidence stage.
