Hi all,
I had shared my problem in the Experts section some 6 months back when I was getting the inkling that my bitter half will file a 498a on me at some point of time. My apprehension has come true, and I was slapped with a 498a in first week of july.
For the back ground, please check the following link from Experts section where I have explained on the details.

>>Current State:
- Wife files FIR, only 498a IPC, no other IPC - on me , my parents, my elder sis
- DCP removes elder sis name from complaint and gives arrest order for rest of the 3
- Parents abscond, AB applied, granted
- I am arrested, got bail in 4 days
>>The FIR :
I dont know what standards qualify for an FIR to be made in to 498a , but the following are the points in the 10 liner complaint from my wife which led to toppling an entire family, spending 2 lacks in 3 weeks on lawyer, bail and police :
1) She claims we were leading a happy life for 6 months. Until she discovers my past love affair with one of my relatives. - True - i did have a love affair before marriage
2) She claims that I still have affair with her . - Grossly untrue, she cant prove anything
3) That when she challenged me this, I protested and threatened to cut off relationship with her parents and others - Untrue -I never made such statements
4) Because of the above I started physically and mentally harassing her - Untrue
5) That because of the above, I threw her out of the house - Untrue- she left me to stay in a hostel for 2 months
6) I demanded 20000 from her every month from her salary of 40000 - Untrue
My question to the respected lawyers here ,
1) Should I go for quashing
2) what are my chances of getting this quashed ?
thanks
