Dear Lawyers,
My wife registered 498A against to me after my divorce happened legally through muslim divorce procedures and been issued a divorce certificate from Indian Government. I live out of India since more than 7 years. I have my paspport renewal after one year for which I have to submit my passport application. My job in overseas also involved business travelling to different countries around the world (Except India).
The current status of my FIR is waiting for police to be filed a charge sheet. However, we made petition in HighCourt to quash the FIR as she accused number of people in my family (including non-family memembers) and all her allegations are untrue and we have clear naked facts to prove her allegations are false. Judge has now allowed our petition and given hearing to the other party to attend hearing to prove the allegations.
I would like to drag this case for about an year only with Quash petitions (including up to Supreme Court). We also plan to go for quashing charge sheet and drag the case till an year untill I get permanent residence in the coutry that I am currently living.
Can you please tell me how to renew my passport? I already given Power of attorney to our family member to appear and make 498a petitions on my behalf in India courts.
In line to this, can you also advise whether we can apply for AB at the Quashing stage?
Can my relative appear in court through GPA or any video conference is allowed to appear (from permanent exemption)?
What other advises you could provide to stop impouding my passport or stop issues while renewing passport in Indian embassy (out of India)? Your kind advises are really very helpful. Thank you.
