My friend's wife filed a case against her husband under Section 506R in 2013. He was arrested, got bail, and left the city (Bangalore). During that time, the husband and wife were living in a rental house in Bangalore. After he got bail, he was informed by the police that the court would send a notice to his permanent address to appear in court. However, he didn't receive any notice for a long time and checked the eCourt website to know the status, where there were no records against his name. His wife filed the case by giving money to the police (FIR details were not given, and he didn't have any details about the case), and her intention was to send him out of the house. The case was filed using influence, and there was nobody to help my friend during that time. So, my friend thought the case was withdrawn.
Recently, my friend came to know that the case is still pending in court. His wife informed him through relatives that the case is still pending (it seems the police approached her as the case is pending for a long time), and she is ready to withdraw the case and shared the case details. When he checked the case status on the eCourt website, his name was wrongly mentioned in the case details, with the hearing date within a week. Now, since my friend is not in Bangalore and doesn't know anyone in Bangalore, only his wife is in Bangalore.
