Fir & arrest can be done on same day?

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 05 September 2024 This query is : Resolved
My wife filed a fake dowry complaint at the Women Cell in UP. During my first appearance on the third hearing, I asked her parents why they made false allegations. They replied, "How else would we be heard in court without making these claims?" They then requested the IO at the Women Cell to file an FIR. The next hearing is next week. Can an FIR and my arrest happen on the same day?

Please note, I have already emailed the SP and Women Cell, stating that all allegations are false and that I was the one who first filed a police complaint when her family came to my home and acted violently later on they made complaint 400 kms away. This is clearly a counterblast.

Your email and remote phone calls will not make any impact to the police or SP.
They will not consider any such statements or arguments from your side if they have decided to register FIR.
Instead you can apply for anticipatory bail and then appear before police for inquiry and not before that in order to prevent the police from arresting you after registering the FIR,.

But I asked local advocates in that city of UP, they are saying lets first them register 498a FIR then only I can apply for AB. Mahila thanna has power to register FIR & arrest on the last date?

The court may not grant AB without FIR but it can pass an order to not to arrest in the event of registering a FIR without following the procedures of law.
