If she said as a witness in the court, what you wrote, the judge will acquit him because, neither direct evidence nor indirect evidence is coming against the accused.

this all statement is recorded in the court while she was giving witness under the trail of 498a.based on that witness if judge has taken money how many years punish.3yrs or 1 yrs or 6 month.cuz in bihar most of the judge is taking bribe very freequently.so please .

The MAXIMUM  punishment is 3 years and fine also may be imposed.

If the witnesses said as you explained, then who would give bribe to the judge.  do not worry.  He will be acquitted. If worse comes to worst, there is an appellate forum.

First you suggest your frnd to apply to court for quashing the 498a.
