Dear Lawyers,
I have a question for you in a dowry case me and my family has been fighting for the past two years.
Brief details: My brother got married three years ago in Gujrat. I live abroad and married abroad also for many years. Soon after marriage my sister-in-law started threatening him to get all our propoerty transferred in her name. When he refused she ran back to her parents place. After one year she filed 498a/406 DP act case against our parents, my brother and me. They got bail quickly thankfully enough. Mediation was tried but girl's side demand is too hiugh.
Finally last month police submitted chargesheet where charges against me have been dropped but charges are filed against my brother and our parents.
I want to file counter cases of defamation and pray for 182/211/192 against the girl's side. I know that chances of my success are low but hopefully that creates pressure on opposite side to settle.
My question is:
I am now a foreign citizen (due to marriage). Can I file for defamation and pray for 182/211/192 in Indian court?
If I can do this, can I give power of Attorney to my brother to fight these cases for me?
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance
