My friend quashed under 498 A after 4 years of marriage (2004). the lady stayed with him for 7-8 days and thenafter run away to her father's home and filled a case of 498 A. since the boy was not aware with this this case as he came to Delhi (earlier was in bihar) for livlihood and nobody from family informed to him any thing about case due to bad terms with father.
In 2009 sep< police came and arrested him from his rented home at Delhi and he was behind the Bar for 7 days and then came out on Bail and final Bail was done in a month.
In between the lady has filed maintainance case as well from Delhi, now 498 A hearing is going on Bihar and maintainance hearing is going on Delhi.
The lady is calling to other relativs of boy asking asking for upto Rs. 5000 Monthly maintainace though the boy has lost his job and decided to go back to village and do the farming.
Today the Sister's husband of Boy has receivied a letter from mahila samiti Patiyala house wherein its mentioned that he hs to present on 4 April for a hearing.
My Question is:
.1 Is mahila Samita is a court?
2 Is mahila samiti is empowered with all judiciary rights
3. can we ask there for a lum sum settlement amount..
4. the sister's husband of boy was not married even when this case was filled, do he need to present there as that lady is trying to drag him allegdly.
Please suggest
