IF YOU ARE SUFFERER OF FALSE 498a IPC
THE WAY TO RESPOND 1 IF YOUR WIFE/ FATHER IN LAW/ MOTHER IN LAW IS GOVT. EMPLOYEE
A) FOR FIL/ MIL
u can apply for departmental enquiry u/s 11A of all India service conduct rules 1968
or u/s 13A of state govt. service conduct rules 1966 against the person who asserts that he/she had given dowry and apply along with copy of FIR or his/her affidavit and request his/her deptt. to take action against him/her for violation of govt. conduct rules as u/s 11A "giving and taking dowry is crime"
It will work like double edged weapon
if he/ she repeated asserts that he/she had given dowry then punished under service conduct rules
if he deny in departmental enquiry then take copy of enquiry proceeding under RTI 2005 then submit in court and even prosecute him/her u/s 182 IPC in case of FIR or u/s 191 IPC and 193 IPC in case of wrong affidavit.
B) WIFE IF GOVT EMPLOYEE
Similarly file application against wife for abetment of dowry
Also take help of RTI Act 2005 to get copy of enquiry report for your complaint
So govt employed wife/FIL/MIL/ other relative can be even punished for abetment of dowry
