Hi Advocates,
I need an advice
My wife filed false IPC 498A sec 3,4 dowry prohibition act as per 41 amendement case against me & my family members.
FIR was filed in police station & not sure of charge sheet & we got to know case file moved to court.
we have settled the matter and compromised in police station infront of police officers & agreed to pay her lumpsum amount & close the matter.
We both parties agreed to file Mutual Divorse case petition in district court in hyderabad. In divorce petition & MOU it is stated that my wife will with draw all the cases & further will not file any case & also she recived settlement for marriage expenses & she will not claim anything further in any meas.
My question is with respect to 498 A sec 34 with drawl :
Since the matter settled at police station, when we enquired about 498A case with drawl , Police told us that it is in their hands & once they recieve a with drawl letter from my wife, they will be cancelling the case.
1Q. my doubt is - if police cancel the case & close the FIR , does it enough ? or shall i ask my wife to file a withdraw petition for 498A in district court .
2 Q what documents should i collect from police or court to keep track of 498A case closure against my family ?
Please help me in detailed avice in 498A withdrawl.
