All esteemed experts,
My wife has filed a 498a after 4 days I filed for nullification s it was a forced marriage by her inlaws and her and I have collected all evidences and gone to court. I am abroad and the police has filed that I am absconding before the sessions court before which the matter is due in mid next month. # days before that I have a date in HC under 482 petition where I have hired a noted HC lawyer{who is only appearing as my lawyers senior counsel for asking stay for just one hearing} for making argument who has charged heavily as his facevalue is quite high in courts. But I am afraid the police will mention it that I am not appearing for investigation and will cite lower court bail application that I am not available for investigation. I have read most experts view on 498a but mine is a bit different case as I am abroad.
1. What can be stated to get a stay on this matter, will it make any sense?
2. My lawyer who is handling the nullification cases both nullification says file a case in your home state cos the girl will not learn a lesson and she and her family are only harassing and only when you do something like her, she will come to her enses? is is correct way? I fear she might fie more cases in retaliation.
3. I have mails stating, 40 -50 mails where she has clearly stated that she is using this law to teach me a lessson.
4. 4 months have passed since I filed nullification but my lawyer is sitting on it, i have asked him to start the cae but everytime I call him, he says we should handle one thing at a time and get you stay and I fear if i fail to get stay in next high ourts hearing I will have to quit and come back as court had asked me to not to leave country in event of arrest but I was never summoned by police for arrest and was cooperating in investigation. So that itself makes sense that they didnt want to arrest me and also I didn't violate the bail clause.
Advise the best solution keeping in mind that I am abroad and have to look for my livlihood too.
