498a and dv cases at different places (states)

Hello Experts and other members,

I got married via matrimonial site and my marrigage has ran into issues within just 3 months. The girl's side are very vocal and have big mouth. They have the attitude to control and rule everyone. The girl's father is just like a rubber stamp.

Demanding the ouster of my mother and young sister from the house, she threatened 498a case. She and her mother forced us to police station many times demanding 25 lakhs to break the marriage and eventually filed 498a alleging that we took dowry and also harrased for further dowry for not agreeing to their demands. I have not taken a single penny and the marriage expense was mine.

That was first time I personally experienced police brutality and one sided investigation and all the time they just expected money. The SC guidelines on how to deal 498a cases is utter waste as ground reality is totally different. The police know how to bend the laws and guidelines for money.

She has filed 498a (3&4) in Bangalore and after great difficulty got the bail and were ready to fight the case. After 5 months she filed maintenance and DV cases at her place in Tamil Nadu which is 450 Kms from Bangalore demanding huge monthly maintenance and Rs.25 lakhs for DV and permanant maintenance  as well. Seperate DV cases have been filed on me and my family members.

They have mentioned so much lies and even stated that I asked money to fight elections. There are a lot of contradictions in 498a and DV cases. They know very well that of they file DV cases in Bangalore they'll be exposed in the court.

I'm not able to bear the frustration and the amount of money that I have to spend on these false cases. I don't have to tell you how India works right from Police station to the top most level.

Soon after I got the court notice from TN, I immedtiately filed a stay and transfer petition in the Supreme Court and my petition has been accepted. The court in TN has agreed to wait till SC decides on the STAY.

My concerns are:

1. How can courts entertain DV case which is a criminal case away from the place of the actual so called incidents.
That is the sad part and the real fact that women can give any application and they will accept it and the matter will be looked into and then decided upon even if wife has filed 498a in one place and DV in another and maintenance case in a totally different city.  It has been made only to harass you thats all.  If you have the time and the patience and the money to run around all three places then based on merits of cases you can come out of them.

2. How are the responents going to prove their innocence
Based on merits of case you need to prove your innocence.

3. If a girl files for maintenance, Is it a given that I should provide interim and permanent maintenance especially if she is from wealthy family and previously working
Interim maintenance is awarded only for interim relief and such lasts only till the cases last, it is not permannent in nature and you have to provide your income and loss statement or the IT returns for court to analyse your income and upon which order 1/3rd as IA or interim alimony.  Her family status does not come into picture, but if she is educated and earning you can prove to court that she can earn her own livelihood, you have to summon her employer to court and get details of her salary via her employer.

4. What are the factors that the court considers before deciding maintence to her. Does it look at my existing loans and expenses that I'm having for fighting all these cases
File your IT returns and it be easy for court to come to a figure of maintneance.

5. What are the chances of getting a transfer from the SC from her place to Bangalore especially when she has filed a 498a in Bangalore
This is astrological question, which cannot be answered.

6. Will SC show so much sympathy to women even if the cases are contradicting and full of sh*tty lies. Is there a chance that 498a also might get transferred to her place just because she is a woman and play the sympathy and sentiment card
There is a very big  chance of it, Indian law is for women and only women, in the name of empowering and giving justice to woman, all men are literally screwed day in and out.

7. Is there a chance wherein the SC can quash the 498a after looking at so many contradictions.
Depending on merirts of case SC might quash the 498a, but nothing can be said in perfectoin.
