Clarification

In such cases it generally happen that unable to control you family member , people tend to assault others. From your own descripttion only following facts can be gathered:- 1. One lady is seeking divorce from her husband 2. She has entered in live-in relation with your brother 3. The elation is with brother’s consent. 4. Her husband has filed divorce on this ground. (a valid one) It is further apparent that :- 5. your family is not a party to divorce 6. but your female members went to the court 7. the went to court to quarrel with that lady 8. they went there with pre-medidated mind to quarrel with her. 9. They chose no other time and place to quarrel. 10. They have been charged with congniable offence alongiwth the lady. An unbiased person will believe that the balance of convenience is with the lady who you call (X), as far as this fight is concerned. If her version is available there may be some mitigating circumstances in her favour and a good lawyer may get her out. But your learned counsel with best of his wisdom has advised that your mother and aunt can go to jail. I have reasons to agree with him. Their mere presence (as per facts so far narrated by you ) was unwarranted and criminally motivated. You are willing to take the risk of them being in Jail just to gamble out if she (X) may (or may not) be jailed. It is better you yourself read these section if you can like ladies of you house to be convicted :- [294.
