hello All - I have a friend who has a 489A case filed on him by his wife via 156(3). The police did not take FIR so his wife went to court and filed 498A by a affidavit in front of magiratrate. His father in-law is a retired state government employee of West Bengal (Howrah district) but was working when the marraige took place.
His father in law gave a written statement in affidavit that he paid 2 lacs dowry which is totally false. Now my friend wants to screw them.
There is a rule of central govt 1964 act which says giving dowry is crime and a departmental enquiry is initiated if proved and pension is stopped. So my friend wants to take that route.
However his FIL was employee of WB state government. Can anyone of you confirm if the central government rule will apply here and he can inform his father-in-laws office and stop his pension
