Criminal Law

What to do if my wife is threatening to file a false criminal case against my family members? Wife’s family fights and gives warnings to the whole family. They are planning to file a case to the whole family. They are threatening that you will spend a long time in police chowky. What happens if they file a case? My brother wants his child custody with them only and doesn’t want to give big alimony.

Respected Sir /Madam, can investigating officer add more accused and section in FIR after submitting final report? My sister had given a complaint to the SSP against her husband and in-laws ( against 8 persons). The SSP had marked my complaint to the women cell for enquiry. After enquiry by the woman cell  and according to their enquiry report the police station had requested a FIR u/s 406, 498 – A IPC Against her husband , father-in-law and mother-in-law i.e 3 accused persons. 

Remaining Five persons neither attend  the proceedings of the enquiry of the woman cell although send the normal  statement but  not denying  the allegations in the  complaint. Three accused persons were already on anticipatory bail and joined the investigation. No charge sheet ( Challan ) had been present in trial court . 

My sister had filed an application before the SSP to initiate a parallel enquiry to three accused and five other persons ( whose name in the previous complaint letter) . My application is marked to SP (d)  for further enquiry/ Investigation . The SP (d) had issued Notices on email and whatsapp   U/S 91 Cr.PC for personal Appearance in SP (D)  office on a fixed date and time.

On the fixed date no one is present. But after 2 days the one page reply was sent to the SP (D) Reader on his whatsapp. But in this reply they are not denying the allegations . Again SP ( D) office issued the notices on their whatsapp and email address for personal appearance on 7/6/2022 at 10 AM sharp.  

My questions and queries to you are as follows:- 1. Can a  SP (D) had without issuing the notices to the accused (s) to order the additions of the sections of IPC in the FIR inspite the sections 406, 498 A IPC. against the  three accused. 2. Can a  SP ( D)  after issuing Notices to 5 other persons register a FIR against five other persons. 3. According to my sister’s statement and four other statements by eyewitnesses  in the mahila thana , pictures , bills and other documents were also annexed in the police file . 4. The said FIR is registered on the allegation of rupees 1,00,000/ – given at the time of marriage. 

The demand of alleged dowry amount RS one Lac is also supported by three accused  and five  other persons whose names are in the complaint letter . Out of rs. 1,00,000/- ( one lac)  investigation officer recovered  Rupees 20,000/- at the time of investigation. Remaining 80,000/-and other dowry articles , Stridhan , cash Sagun , gold ornaments, gifts  etc  are still in the possession of three accused as well as five other persons also. In this regard my statement and other four eyewitness statements are also on police file. 

It is here mentioned that previous FIR was registered only three accused after the enquiry of the woman Cell and  DSP level report. This parallel enquiry is marked by the SSP to the SP (D) for further investigation. But the SP (D) had no issues to the Notices to the three accused. They issued Notices to Five other persons . Please tell me :- Can a SP (d) have power to register the case to five other persons? And or to add the sections of IPC against the three accused without any issuing notice . If the FIR is registered against five other persons the FIR number will be the same?

How to know if an FIR has been filed or not? Somebody lodged an FIR in the police  station on  theft of ornaments. The theft case prima facie seems to be false. But the police are calling me with the benefit of doubt. I don’t know whether the FIR has been registered or not. What should I do? 

What to do when a data entry company demands more money than agreed? I belong to a small village in Haryana. I filled out a form for data entry work from home. I got a call and asked me to join on a condition of paying 6500 rs. They told me that 6500rs. will be detected from my first salary and if I will not complete the task in time I.e filling 600 forms in 6 days then too I have to pay them 6500rs. 

Because of some reasons I couldn’t complete my work. Now they send me a legal notice through email and asked for 8500rs as yesterday was Sunday and I didn’t pay them.What should I do? They are saying that they have filed a case against me.

My sister was in a relationship for 7 yrs and after that she decided to part ways with boyfriend due to some issues. My sister is being mental harassed by her ex-boyfriend. She was informed this in 2020 and after that asked him not to contact him. He visited my sister along with his sister and spoke to her for 5 hrs and my sister explained that she can’t be with him. 

After that he has been sending messages to her again and again that he wants to meet and talk, which my sister hasn’t answered and those messages. There were messages from his family also. In these 3 yrs we have tried to tell the boy and his parents  to ask the boy not to call  or message her. After telling repeatedly and blocking him from calling or any social platform he has been messaging from different nos. 

Also mailing from different mail ids. This has been affecting my sister’s mental health and she  has been under stress as this boy doesn’t stop messaging or mailing her and always tries to be in touch or try and talk to her. And try and do emotional blackmail. We  have tried to tell him that if he wants closure then he can speak in front of relatives but he insists he wants to meet her alone and talk.  

Recently due to this she has been having health issues. After 3 yrs now it’s getting unbearable and we want to take legal action. Can we do it? We have kept all screen shots and some mail screenshots as proof.

My boyfriend and I had a relationship for 6 yrs. My boyfriend has exploited me by spending money on me and I spent too little as I was a student. We were both happy because he spent a lot of money on me and bore my study expenses. 

But now I am unhappy with him. I wanted to break up with him but he was blackmailing. I said that he will be my father and give details about the money he spent on me. He abuses me everyday and is a mental torcher for me.

I was in love with a man for 8 years. He cheated on me and got married. We patched up in 6 months and he promised to leave his wife and marry me. Even after 9 years he has not left her and now he wants to leave me. Can I file a case on my ex-boyfriend who has married another lady?
