@joseph,
Thanks for your reply. you have very well summed up that whether the medical certificate is false or not, husband has no guard. He has to face the music of the gender biased laws.
Once again thanks!

DEAR MR.NANDA
PLEASE DON'T THINK THAT THIS GENDER BIASED LAW WILL SURVIVE FOR EVER AND MEN HAD TO BE A BONDED LABOUR BEFORE THEIR WIFE'S . YOU PLEASE READ MY COMMENT PUBLISHED IN THIS COLUMNS YESTERDAY UNDER THE HEAD " 6TH NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DOMESTIC VIOLENC ACT AGAINST WOMEN TODAY [ 25/01/2013 ] TO BE INAUGURATED BY THE HONORABLE CHIEF JUSTICE OF INDIA MR. ALTHAMAS KABIR AT DELHI . 50% I HAVE SUPPORTED IT IF THAT IS A REAL ONE AND THE REST 50% I HAVE OPPOSED IT THAT MANY WOMEN ARE USING IT AS A TOOL TO MAKE THEIR LEGALLY WEDDED HUSBAND MAD AND DRIVING THEM TO COMMIT SUICIDE . LAW IS EQUAL TO BOTH AS IT IA FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT GUARANTEED UNDER THE CONSTIYUTION THAT IS " EQUALITY BEFORE LAW ". WHERE THIS EQUALITY HAD GONE . THE HONORABLE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA HAD OBSERVED IN MANY CASES THAT IF A MAN'S NAME IS SPOILED , THEN IT IS BETTER TO DIE THAN TO LIVE . BASED ON SUCH AN OBSERVATION THE HONORABLE COURT HAD QUASHED THE BOMBAY HIGH COURT JUDGEMENT IN A PARTICULAR CASE AND SET HIM FREE . THIS JUDGEMENT HAD RECENTLY APPLIED IN A CASE IN THE HIGH COUR OF MADRAS FOR QUASH .I HAVE ENDED IT BY MY CONCLUSION THAT IF THIS CONTINUES THEN MEN WILL FORM A FORUM TO PROTECT THEIR RIGHT AGAINST WOMEN IN REAL CASES . I HAVE FURTHER ADDED THAT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ACT MAY BE CORRECT IN SOME CASES . BUT HOW LONG THIS WILL GO . WHAT IS THE TIME LIMIT FIXED FOR INVOKING THIS LAW .CAN A WOMAN INVOKE THIS LAW AFTER 25 YEARS OF HER MARRIAGE AGAINST HER HUSBAND OR TILL HIS DEATH .PLEASE READ THIS - JOSEPH WILFRED - 25/01/2013 AT 01.34 HRS.

I HAVE ALREADY EXPLAINED IN DETAIL THAT THE MEDICAL CERTIFICATE WAS OBTAINED ONLY AFTER A WEEK OF THE ASSAULT . THE DOCTOR WILL NOT MENTION THAT IT WAS DUE TO DOMESTIC QUARREL EVENTHOUGH HE KNOWS THE FACT BUT WILL STATE ONLY THE TYPE OF INJURY AND THE TREATMENT GIVEN TO HER . SHE MUST HAVE MADE PAYMENT AT THE COUNTER AND THAT RECEIPT WILL SHOW THE TIME OF TREATMENT . WE DID NOT EVEN HAD THE RECEIPT BUT OBTAINED A DUPLICATE ONE FROM THE COUNTER . ON THAT BASIS WE GOT THE X-RAY TAKEN ONTHAT DAY AND THEREAFTER GOT THE OPINION OF THE SPECIALIST WHO WAS A DIFFERENT DOCTOR . THE HOSPITAL IS NOT A GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL BUT A PRIVATE HOSPITAL BUT A VERY BIG ONE IN MADRAS. DEFINITELY SUCH HOSPITALS WILL NOT ISSUE A FALSE CERTIFICATES FOR EMERGENCY TREATMENT GIVEN TO THE PATIENT AND THAT TOO A PLASTIC SURGEON . IF THE POLICE SENDS ANYBODY TO A HOSPITAL THEN THEY SHOULD SEND THEM ONLY TO A GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL . BUT NORMALLY ALL GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS DON'T HAVE ALL KINDS OF SPECIALISTS AND THAT TOO AT ODD HOURS . EVEN DURING MORNING HOURS THEY DON'T HAVE SUCH SPECIALISTS AND THEY WILL REFER ONLY TO THE GOVERNMENT GENERAL HOSPITAL .ALL THIS IS APPLICABLE ONLY TO THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT TO SPEND EVEN A PIE FOR EMERGENCY TREATMENT . BUT IF THE VICTIM IS READY TO SPEND THEN SHE CAN GO TO ANY BIG HOSPITALS AND GET HER TREATED THERE . EVEN IN DELHI CASE WHAT THE POLICE HAD SAID IS ANYBODY CAN TAKE THE VICTIM TO ANY HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT AND WE WILL NOT QUESTION THEM OR CALL THEM AS WITNESS . THEREFORE THE POLICE ENQUIRY IS SECONDARY ONLY . VICTIMS TREATMENT MUST BE GIVEN PRIORITY .
IN YOUR CASE NORMALLY YOUR WIFE SHOULD GIVE COMPLAINT ONLY AT THE WOMEN'S POLICE STATION WHO WILL CALL YOU FOR ENQUIRY .BUT WOMEN POLICE STATIONS WILL DO COUNSELLING ONLY AND THEY CAN ASK YOU TO GIVE IN WRITING THAT YOU WILL BEHAVE IN A PROPER MANNER IN FUTURE .ALL THIS DEPENDS ON YOUR WIFE ONLY . IF SHE WANTS TO TAKE REVENGE ON YOU THEN SHE CAN ASK THE WOMEN POLICE STATION INCHARGE TO REFER HER COMPLAINT TO THE MEN POLICE STATION . THEY CAN CALL YOU FOR ENQUIRY AND BASED ON THE ENQUIRY ONLY THEY CAN BOOK A CASE AFTER ASCERTAINING THE VIEWS OF YOUR WIFE . BUT THEY SHOULD NOT ARREST YOU .BUT WHO IS FOLLOWING THE RULES NOW A DAYS .THEY MAY ASSAULT YOU THERE AND DETAIN YOU IN THE POLICE STATION ITSELF .IT IS BETTER YOU KEEP A GOOD LAWYER WHO WILL COME TO YOUR RESCUE IMMEDIATELY ON HEARING THAT THE POLICE HAD TAKEN YOU EVEN IF IT IS MIDNIGHT . THEN THE POLICE CANNOT ASSAULT YOU .BUT THAT LAWYER MUST HAVE PATIENCE TO TALK TO ANY POLICE OFFICIAL AS FAR AS POSSIBLE IN A POLITE BUT TO THE POINT . HE SHOULD NOT SPEAK OF LAW AND ALL IN THE STATION .BECAUSE MOST POLICE PERSONS DON'T HAVE ANY LEGAL KNOWLEDGE BUT BEHAVE AS IF LIKE A ROWDY BUT THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS HE IS A UNIFORMED ROWDY. IF ANY POLICE OFFICIAL OF ANY STATION HAD THE GUTS LET HIM TAKE ACTION ON ME .I AM SPEAKING NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH ONLY. UNDER WHAT LAW THEY CAN TAKE ACTION FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH .I AM HAVING SEVERAL INSTANCES OF ROWDISM BY THE POLICE FOR FAMILY MATTERS WHICH THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO INTERFERE . EVEN THE HONORABLE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA HAD ADVISED THE HIGH COURTS NOT TO ENCOURAGE AND SEPARATE A FAMILY JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE COME THE COURT .THEY MUST WEIGH THE PROS AND CONS OF EACH CASE AND MUST SEPARATE THAT FAMILY ONLY IF THE COURT COMES TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THEY CANNOT LIVE AS HUSBAND AND WIFE TOGETHER EVEN IF THE COURT UNITES THEM .ONLY IF THE BITTERNESSS WILL GET MORE AND MORE IF THE COURT UBITES THEM ,THEN SUCH FAMILIES CAN BE SEPARATED . THE VERY IMPORTANT THING IS THAT IF THE HUSBAND OR THE WIFE CANNOT LIVE TO THE SOCIAL STATUS OF THE FAMILY THEN IT IS BETTER TO SEPARATE THAT FAMILY .-JOSEPH WILFRED - 29/01/2013 AT 23.37 HRS.
CCTV should be made mandatory in each household.
Filing false case, getting fake documents. Then running to courts for years together.
When the wife has such mental problems, CCTV is mandatory, and you should have taken her to govt hospital psychiatry ward and got her treated, kept all the prescripttions reports etc.
Thats how to pin em down.
Or else major trouble for you.
Now that its just a slip, nothing will happen. If she goes and gives complaint in police station, do not be surprised.
Hire a lawyer immediately.

@sujay, i have been already dragged into police station. Though my wife did not come to police station, her brother showed the emergency ward slip showing injury and alleged that I caused that injury to her. However, no formal complaint was made ( i believe so!).
Police officer acted as a mediator only. No written statements were taken from me. I did not sign any paper in the police station, but informed that I will try to bring her back.
