Dear Ld members !!!
The FIR has been finally lodged by my wife against me and my family and I have the FIR copy with me. I got a lawyer and he said that we should not apply for Anticipatory Bail (AB). He suggested we will first deposit all the tangible items given by them along with the marriage video. Then, I will have to surrender and get myslef arrested. After which he will get bail for me. Finally once I am on bail, he will apply for the AB for my family members. Though they didn't gave anything tangible to us except her household items whereby he has claimed 15 tola gold, furniture worth Rs. 1 lac etc. The lawyer said even if they didn't gave anything but still we have to submit something infront of court as part of streedhan otherwise my bail will be rejected.
He justified his above route on the basis that if he applies for AB then 90% chances are their that it will be rejected and then you will have tomove to high court where it will take 10-15 days for your turn to come.
I am confused. pls suggest.
