Hi,
Needless to say how abusive and misused 498a is being used. We have been victims of 498a in july 2009, filed against 6 family members. 4 of them approached High Court under sec 482 and able to get stay of arrest and rest 2 members seurrendered and appearing court dates at lower court. Charge sheet is not filed even after 11 months of FIR (dont know why there wud be such delay).
The 2 members who are on regular bail, filed a peteition for exemption of appearance and are planning for second time (due to various reason). Do you see any trouble arising when you dont attend the court and your lawyet represents the case(remeber, chargesheet is not filed yet). In the worst of events, what would be the major issue for not attending the court dates and filing a petetion by a lawyer?
Kindly share your thoughts.
Thanks in Advance
