Hi Jack,
There was no dowry other than marriage expenses (that is also given to them by some of our relatives) and bit of gold like "Sarudu" and some bangles.They are with her only as they are for daily usage. Our marriage was decided when we were in child hood as we both are relatives.
During DVC case execution also they couldn't provide any proof of bills for gold and any proofs for the dowry. The judge has clearly wrote in the DVC judgement that since there are no proofs her allegations can not be believed. Even the DVC case on my parents alos quashed by High court. Only the DVC case on me is in pending in High court.
is it possible to close the DP act 3 and 4 cases in high court if we settle the issue outside court and both will say to high court judge?
Some important points:
1. 498A is cancelled but convicted under DP act 3 and 4 for 5 years in trial court for A1 to A4.
2. DVC is quashed against my parents A2 to A4
3. Paying every month 20k as maintenance.
I consulted many lawyers during the case trail with deposition of the witnesses and the cross done by my senior lawyer. Every one was saying that all accused will be acquittal if not ,only A1 will get convicted because there are no strong grounds in the case and the cross by my lawyer also very good.hence the witnesses are clearly telling that no harrasement but about that dowry they orally told without any proof.
Unfortunately A1 to A4 all are convicted by judge (Lady) for 5 years under DP act 3 and 4 which is no one expected.
