If you and your opposite party can come to a settlement/agreement, well and good.
IF NOT
498a is better than a life threatening or disabling disease. Its better than getting into an accident
and losing an arm. Better than losing loved ones, basically there are far worse things than can happen
to a normal man ---> I'm not saying 498a should happen, but if it has happened then only a strong positive attitude
can save you.
One way of wearing out your opposition - is to always be busy, active and happy. You dont let
Court visits affect your daily life or your future plans. Plan your life around your case.
It is not easy but not impossible either - think of those professionals who live away from their
families, have to deal with criminals/scams or work in dangerous environments etc.
Their profession itself is very disturbing, yet they strive for a family.
If you have the will, you can put up a good fight - and that too only for a few years. Even if you assume
monthly visit to court, in 2 years (as ashok said) you visit 24 times. so what? assume you get a headache or stomach upset once a month. better than having a health issue and suffering for months continuously.
In the process, you must win the confidence ,faith and sympathies of the Judge and PP. They are also human, they know what kind of dirty game is going on.
