Advocate - counsel - (498a)- requested

FIR is first information report. and what ever the complaint says is noted down . 498 A can be filed anytime and i dont think so there is any time limit . The mere fact that witnesses are interested is no ground for throwing out their evidence overboard. All that is necessary is that in such cases, the evidence of the witnesses should be examined with caution and, having done that, if the court feels that the evidence does not suffer from any other legal or factual infirmity, there is no reason to distrust the evidence of such a witness be it a relative . The evidence of an interested witness is not like the evidence of an approver which would need corroboration and the rule of caution cannot be confirmed in a straitjacket.  But the  Court’s can  reject the evidence of witness on the sole ground that they were interested(  A Relative )  and did not enter into the intrinsic merits of their evidence.
