Dear Ld Members,
I got married in Feb., 2012. After four months my wife lest the home as she wanted to live sperately with me and filed false complaint with Mahila thana against me and my family on 11th March, 2013. It includes the money spent by them in marriage and that we used to harraa her for car etc. I attended all the three councellings and denied to compromise and live with her separately.
Till now, I haven't heard anything from Police. The file is said to be with the DSP. Now, I have been advised by a lawyer to separate all the items given by them during the marriage and keep them separately. He also said that as soon as the FIR will be filed the police will come for the recovery of the item. But the fact is my wife's father just gave some household items. Though in the complaint he claimed that he has spent Rs. 16 lakh in the marriage which includes furniture worth Rs. 1 lakh and other things. He gave some jewellary to his daughter at the time of marriage which they took away when she left the home in June, 2012.
1) Can police ask us to surrender all the items that she will mention. Since we shifted to the new house so she knows whats new at our home. We do not have any bill for any of our furniture that we have at our home and even other items.
2) Can't we defend on the point that since no list was prepared during the time of marriage so this is a complete fake list ??
3) We don't even know what all charges they will frame against us. 498a is for sure. But I don't think they can file for 406 as nothing regarding the same was mentioned in that complaint (The hard copy of the complaint was not provided to us but I read the complaint).
