Sir/Madam,
My Brother in Law, his parents, my wife, and my wife's married sisters are falsely accused of sec 304b and 498A in the FIR and added my name and my wife's another sister's husband in the chargesheet.
Case background:
My brother in laws wife had some personality disorder and she was never wanted to lead a married life with my brother in law from day one of marriage and it was routine that she used to go and stay in her maternal home (12 hrs train journey from matrimonial home)for 3 to 6 months on regular basis. My Brother in Law's father in law is a strong political leader. His father in law used to threaten all of us for dire consequences like 498a if questioned on her behavior. In fact my brother in law filed a police complaint few years back against his father in law. My brother in law was staying separately for past 2.5 years with his wife without any contact with rest of the family. As usual my in law's wife went and staying in her maternal house for past 9 months with her 4.5 year's old daughter. She was not even in touch by phone with her husband for past 4 months. On the unfortunate day, she used her father's revolver and shot her daughter and shot herself by 5:00PM. This incident was not informed to any of us. Instead there are two FIR's made,
1. one by the his sister in law complaining against the deceased sister for killing her daughter by 7.00PM and
2. another FIR by brother of deceased by 9:00PM against my brother in law , father &mother in law and sister in laws (one sister in law is residing abroad for past 10 years) and my wife under ipc 304B and 498A with a mention of huge demand of money around 20 lakhs.
My brother in law was under JC for 1 months and all the accused are bail and anticipatory bail now from High Court. This case is purely investigated under political pressure and during police custody my brother in law was unlawfully hit by all of the deceased family members inside the police station to third degree. Now charge sheet is completed and having a appearance date by next month. In the charge sheet they have added my name (deceased sister in law's husband) and another sister's husband. The charge sheet is having full of cooked up evidences and incidents by money and political power. Even they added sister who is living abroad for past ten years in the charge sheet. We are middle class family wondering how to handle the false charges.
Questions:
1. We are suspecting and have few evidence and leads for investigation that it may be honour killing by victim's family. The IO is close to victim's family and we strongly believe that even the IO is involved in diverting this case. Can we appeal to High Court with private complaint for investigation by politically neutral agency. or file a Human rights complaint?. What are the probable consequences. It is already 7 months now, any delay will lead to destruction of evidences.
2. We had appealed for quashing in HC. Our Lawyer withdrew on the direction of the Judge to appeal again after investigation completion?. Since charge sheet filed, Should we re appeal again as each family is living separately with kids?
3. We are fearing our life as the case is in district level city having lots of political influence by opposition. Is there a way to transfer the case to metro city where we are residing.
Please help Thanks in advance.
