dear sir/members -
[a] Case section: 498a - on parents, 498a & 506(ii) on myself - single FIR/Charge sheet -
[b] Caset status: pending for discharge petition, counter from PP
[c] fir/chargesheet/witness stmts: mother has asked ex-wife to do lot of domestic work. It is written dowry was given, but all jewels/household items everything is with them (ex-wife) only. still compliant is about asking for dowry, making her to do domestic work and husband beating her. hardly half page charge sheet, but witness statements are for 4 pages each.
action taken:
we have filed dischare petition in lower court in Jan 2016. it has been 8 months now, and counter has not been filed by the PP - 10 hearings gone by. In recent hearing, PP and judge spoke in such low tone, and then i heard date is given for October, and not sure if counter will be given even in october.
kindly let me know your thoughts on next steps.
0) awps, lawyer, and judge all know this is a false case, and i will go to HC for quash after discharge petition. is that the reason they are delaying counter?
1) should i file petition in HC for direction to Lower court - for processing discharge petition?
2) how much time (days/months? i will get to go to HC after discharge petition is dismissed in lower court?
3) in between, can i file quash in HC only for my mother?
4) if i do any of the above, will it affect during framing charges?
5) can any action taken on false witnesses now, as few are in govt jobs?
thank you all.
