Sec 307

My husband was beating me and I took a knife to defend myself, he was recording on video and I had no idea, now my husband and in-laws are holding that video over my head and have thrown me out of the house and blocked all communication threatening to hand me over to the police as attempt to murder. I have pictures of swollen face and injuries over my face. Will I be punished only for defending myself? He has beaten me multiple times before and I have proof of that.

So if they file a report will police arrest me?

Mam,

If they file any report, you need to take anticipatory bail ...

Warm Regards

Hi,

How do I do that? Can you please let me know the legal complications of it? I have proof of everything against my in-laws and husband.

Thanks.

just file a divorce case and before that, file a police complaint mentioned all these things in report. Other wise if other party filed complaint against you. then you are not able to defend yourself.

You may have to arrange for bail if case is filed.

Both sides are claimimg that they have evidences.

Implying both sides can proceed against each other.

Who is filing 1st is the question mark!

If marital relation is broken down to such extent then;

Either resolve amicably and apologise to each other and crease all differences and save marriage.

Or prefer MCD (both sides forgetting all such instancws as mentioned by you)

Or face all cases including contested divorce on merits ..If litigation starts ; One fine day all cases shall be decided by lower courts then higher courts and then Apex Court, depending upon who pulls on upto what extent..
