Should we got 4 DV or Maintenance or Both?

In my opinion you should go for DV case.  It will provide maintenance, as well as provision to recover stri-dhan and also a provision for shared household (if she desires such a relief).  In maintenance case (Section 125 cr.p.c.) she is entitled to only maintenance. 

DV act is best option as answered by Adv. Chandu.

DV is a better option as it calls for speedy disposal and has a wide scope under monetary relief. Depending on which state in India you belong.. you could be guided further.

Mr. Niraj 

                  Iam agree with my above senior friends that DV is the best in your case but I know one of judgement of the Honorable Apex Court which has laid down the principle that DV can not be file for the same cause of action in the above filed 498a. So as you told before that U have already filed a complaint under 498a Then for you DV act seems to be very vital...

@auther!

Its not a cafeteria choice--- whether i opt for DV or 498a or Sec 125!

Be truthful, if any dowry related harassment has happened or not, whether any Domestic Violence happened at all or not, from the one sided story u have told, members are not sure whether its true picture or u r indulging in Legal Terrorism!

As you have already filed for 498A so i think there is no more chnance to be re ubited. If you file maintinance then its quite possible you have to prove domestic iolence which is not easy now a days. and even you get the inter. mainit. thn it will be aound 2k to 3k. SO better to go for a compromis and take sum lum sum amount which will earn you more intrest for your sis livlihood . If you decide to fight the case then you will also be in menatal trauma . Keep your ego aisde and settle it today. 498A case is very long and conviction seems to be 1-2 % and in most cases a compromise will happen after long litigation. So etter go for a compromise today and move on with your life and let your sis move on too her life. Dont waste too much time settle things fast and things about your sis second marriage.

Please remember to keep your EGO aside to resolve the matter.
