Hi Sir, Wife filed 498 on me only on 03.09.2013 and FIR only my name mentioned (In FIR they mentioned Dowry they given Rs.15 lakhs). Later police came with in laws to our parents place taken them to police station on 19.10.2013 and next day I went with lawyer to police station. In laws kept in police station from 19.10.2013 to 24.10.2013 to me and my parents and they force and given threat, warn in us to accept to pay Rs.7.5 lakhs on or before 20.11.2013.(same written on white paper mentioning 6 lakhs dowry given at the time of marriage and marriage expenses 1.5 lakhs like that written on white paper and all elders did signatures and wife and her father and her mom.( by force they taken my parents signatures on white paper). After accept also wife father sent me to remand and written to letter to CI, release his parents to bring money Rs.7.5 lakhs on or before 20.10.2013.In Remand Report my parents names mentioned and mentioned absconded. On 20.11.2013, we have taken money from money lenders, relatives with huge interest rates and deposited money in Joint account on 20.11.2013 (One elder is our relative and other is wife’s side). Same signed on Rs.20 bond paper. After withdrawing cases and at the time of final decree day only has to pay money to wife like that mentioned in bond paper. in that my wife didnt sign on that paper.
Now wife is not withdrawing cases and and joint account holder also not cooperating to resolve this issue and not cooperating withdraw that money. Now they are asking money before divorce. And threating at court premises and they are telling will criminal cases on us if we don’t give before divorce. We are getting scare to go to court attending hearings. Please advise
Is it possible to take any civil and criminal action on Joint account holder and other who made this settlement? Please advise
