My lawyer is suggesting of settlement of 498a case in the following manner.
1. The girl’s family will return the jewellery given by us and in return we will have to give whatever girls jewellery we have.
2. Filing of Mutual Divorce under 13B.
3. We have to pay Rs
4. Our 498a case will run by evidence in the trial(lower court). The Magistrate will be informed that 13b has been filed and compromise has been reached. Girls side will also say the same thing. Accquital of charges will be reached along with Mutual Divorce.
Browsing the net for a month, I have come know that 498a needs to be quashed in High Court if settlement has been reached.
My lawyer says that in my case its not applicable as bail has been given. He said something as acceptance of guilt.
I don’t know what will happen. Also I know corruption can make many things happen.
My lawyer got Regular bail for my brother(groom) and Ma on furnishing bonds of Rs 500 only. Everything moved smoothly. Although I spent RS. 40,000 for this.
regards
