161 statement and Deposition

Hi

Marriage was on the rocks and both the spouses lived seperately after child birth. Husband opted for divorce on the grounds of desertion. Wife using her political clout and hench men barges into husbands house and stays there for a few months before filing a criminal case on grounds of wrongful confinement and PWHA.

All along the divorce proceeding and in the 161 statement wife has not made any dowry demand allegation but while deposing before the JM she is alleging dowry demand and harassment.

My question is

  1. Can the JM take cognizance now and change the sections on the charges framed?
  2. Anything in addition to what has been alleged in the 161 statement during deposition will it be in favor of strengthening the case or weakening the case?
