Can we post case against in laws under dowry prohibition act

Hi,

My 498a wife has framed me and my family in false dowry case us 498A,406 & 34. She has also filed DV act and maintainence case against me.

FIR has been lodged in which she claims giving me money.

Can I file a complaint on the basis of FIR in my place against inlaws and her us 2-3-4 of dowry prohibition act as giving dowry.

Would it go against me as accepting that dowry was given and taken however no dowry was given or taken.

Regards

Victim

don't file any false case against her , fight your case on their merits , return her stridhan as she is demanding on filing section 406 ipc , let her prove that you had demanded the dowry and they had fulfilled your demand and how and in which manner you had done harrassment of her , if she tries to give her statement likewise the judge immediately read her behaviour that she is giving false and fabricated statement without having any proof with her for asking dowry and proof of dowry harassment , he discard her statement and give his decision in your favour .
