Respected Learned Counsels,
My sibling was tortured for dowry by her in laws and she committed suicide at her husband's place, when her husband was present in the house in 2004. We had even registered a plot in her name and marriage was done on a grander scale. My sister had a 2yr old daughter at the time of her death. Later a dowry death case was filed on my brother in law and his parents.
Later they used the child to bring pressure on us and also wanted to sell the plot, if we donot compromise. My family, which got pressure from various people to withdraw case. We however compromised in 2005-06, the plot was sold and Fixed Deposit was booked. And he also got the child's custody.
The rogue family continues to trouble my neice and have very little love or respect to her. Now, the child is 10years old and is in our temporary custody. We are also fighting a battle for the guardianship of the child, as the child was being subjected to harrasement by her step mother.
I was college going and did not act on this much.
My questions are these
1. Are there any options to reopen the case?
2. I have with me the copy of a suicide note left by my sister?
Please guide, I want to try get justice to my departed sister.
Thanks in Advance
