Criminal Law

Can police lodge an FIR in case of accidental death? I am going to my native place. On the way, I met an accident with a person. Later on that person died. Relative of that deceased person filed a FIR against me for the offence of murder. I came to know about the information in the First information report when the investigating officer came to my house for recording of my statement. It is very unfortunate that a relative of the deceased person lodged a false and frivolous FIR against me. Dead person was going on the wrong side of the road, but I am facing a problem due to the fault of the deceased person. 

When I came to know that a first information report has been launched against me for the offence of murder. Therefore, I met an advocate for further action in the FIR. The Advocate suggested that in this scenario I have to challenge the first information report before the honourable High Court for quashing the entire criminal proceeding. I don’t know whether the advocate is right or wrong but he’s very confident that the FIR is false and frivolous. This kind of FIR is not tenable. Please suggest what I should do?

My brother has falsely been prosecuted for the offence of rape. The neighbour has lodged a FIR against him that he had committed rape while she was playing in the field. There was no evidence that she was playing in the field. No witness saw that the victim was playing in the field. That allegation is false and frivolous. The sessions judge has cancelled the bail on the ground that there is enough evidence that the accused has committed the offence. Now I am planning to approach the high court for the bail. Please suggest whether the high court can grant bail in this matter?

My girlfriend habitually engaged in sex and vulgar chat with many people now threatening to file a false case against me. I have been in a relationship with a girl since 2018. Everything was good until lockdown. We were in a live-in relationship. But the moment I came to my hometown she was having boyfriends behind my back. 

When I returned to my hometown and now I found out she was doing sex chating. Vvulgar chats all day night with like 40 plus boys and had 6-7 bfs. She is 22 and some boys are uncles, some are married, some are engaged like 35 of age, some are 32 and I found it via her gmail id.

Now I have so much anger inside me that she used my emotions. My parents are aware of her. She used to talk to them also with my sisters. She was betraying me the moment the long distance started and she was always like, I’m the most loyal girl, she always compared her to sita ji. Now I wanna tell her parents about her deeds that they have raised a pathetic person.

It’s been 4 months I’m in depression, there is so much insecurity inside me. Her sister is saying if you tell anyone then I will frame you under rape case. What should I do to save myself in because I don’t have trust on her family. She can do anything, so what should I do to save myself.

I have a legal query regarding a new passport application hoping that you will understand my situation and reply to that. New passport can be issued after closing of the criminal case. Some years back I had a bike accident whose trial lasted for 2.5 years and I won the case in my favor and no charges was proved against me and case got closed/disposed (by the way those charges was not true they just framed against me and want to extort money from me through this case) than I paid full fees to the lawyer which was decided before the trial. 

At that time I forgot everything because this case was so much of a burden for me physically as well as mentally and by the way I have the original judgment copy (Hard (printout) and soft). So I applied for the new passport through a passport agent and told him about my situation. 

He said to me that you don’t need to worry about your case because it is closed and I will be not asked about this at passport seva kendra but can be asked during police verification so just said “NO” that you don’t have any open case if he checks in the system then show him the judgement copy say that case is closed also suggest me if possible bribe them for the fast process that’s all he advised me. 

But I have some questions in my mind. 1) Do I need to worry? 2) Do I need to make any affidavit regarding this case? 3) Do I need any other documents regarding this case? It is not as good as it should be.

My mother in law is demanding money and filed a criminal case against me (daughter in law). My husband passed away two years ago. After a few days, my mother in law filed a case. The case was filed that we did not take care of my mother-in-law. So we agreed to give 4 lakhs as the witness of big men saying that her daughter will take care of her in the panchayat. We have agreed that we will give two lakhs now and give another two lakhs after our son gets a job. Getting the job will be a bit late but they are filing a case in the police station and demanding the remaining two lakhs, what should I do now? What case should I keep on them?
