Hi Experts,
My 498a is going on and current stage is prosecution witness is going on. Girl and few police witness and cross completed .
One of lawyer advised my to file Extortion case on girl as a private complaint.( he is charging very low fee for this)
He mentioned following benefit:-
At Pre-evidence stage we can call anyone in court .
-let say she is working and i dont have proof for same. I can call her office in court and ask them records.
-If i need her or her father ITR , i can call govt department in court.
-I can call that jeweller in court , whose fake bills they have given to police and are present in challan.
-basically any record, and use these records in 498a case.
After 6-8 months court will take cognize and issue her summon and it will be criminal case.
Now i am confused ,
My lawyer who is fighting my 498a case said no need to take this foolish step and he ensured that i will get aquittal but after fight of 2-3 years. He said matter is already pending in one court so other court will not take cognize and your case will get dismissed and it may backfire also.
The records i mentioned he said if required we will call during Defence evidence.like ITR, her work status , Jeweller etc.
Please advise......
