Dear Experts and Members,
Wife filed 498a 406 3/4 IPC.
I have made a discharge application on grounds-
1. Offence is not made out.
2. Discrepancies in the Statements of the Witness. All the Witness contradict each other in their statements. All the witness even my wifes blood relation and friends are silent on any specific dowry demand.
3.No specific allegations. Vague allegations. No documents and evidence adduced with the chargesheet are supporting the FIR and Statements.
4. The statement of the "interested witness" (who was an eye witness to the alleged crime) also contradicts the statement of my wife.
5. FIR not sent to concerned Magistrate u/s 157 Cr. PC.
6. My wife made 6-7 desperate attempts to stay with me (which she has accepted in her statement which is considered as the FIR), even after the alleged metal and physical cruelty. Why will one want to stay with a criminal?
My Query -
1. My Wife appointed her own lawyer. The PP has made a comment on the her lawyers application that the lawyer can assisst the PP.
My Question- Is ther any provision that I can oppose her private lawyer from defending her case? If no, then what are the circumscribed limits beyond which her lawyer cannot interfere/assist the PP? Please reply, if possible with some case laws...thank you to all the respected members in advance!
Any other inputs are more than welcome!!
thank you all.
VG
