My wife filed for maintenance in mahila court in a separate state under section 12,17,18,19,20,22,23.
11 years of marriage with 2 kids.
She filed police complaint near her parents home in the adjacent state where I live too although in a different district.
The police officer is saying now that he will return the application/complaint with the reason that the matter is already in court. If the police had proceeded then it would have gone the 498a way.
Is this good for me? I logically think that if compromise is not acheived in mediation the mahila court can ask frame 498a against me in future.
All charges are baseless and done to pressurise me to bend in front of my wife and in laws illegal demands.
We had sent a registered letter to her father asking them to send her back for sake of marriage and kids school education which they disturbed a couple of days after they took her and snatched my children away from me.
Questions:
A) Can this speed posted letter give us the first movers advantage. We did not file RCR instantly due to near death circumstance of my mother in our home during the time. But within 2 weeks of their filing DV act against us for maintenance we filed the RCR and added the speed posted letters from my side as supporting documents.
B) What can be inferred from their strategy of filing maintenance first and then registering complaint in police later that too in 2 different jurisdictions? In the police complaint they seem to have hidden the fact that they have approached mahila court.
C) If police returned their complaint on basis of already proceeding court cases. Is this a plus point for us? Can this be revived later from court in a different state.
I am confident of defending myself due to sufficient proofs on my side. However only problem is the harassment and currently my children being away from me. So far have not given any proofs to the police apart from my verbal explanation of the motivations of my wife and in laws.
