For QUASHING of 498A + 420 case completely For QUASHING of 498A + 420 case completely

2 years ago

This case is totally false and baseless one. The issue is briefly described below:

Marriage performed in Hyderabad, on marriage in March 2020. At the wedding function their relatives quarreled with us and created a nuisance for small and silly reasons. However, the marriage was at last performed. Bride did not come to in-laws house. But, she complained against the groom and kin (total 4 persons) a false case of 498A. The case was filed and registered at a Junior Civil Court in Dec. 2020. It has been at the summons stage. We did not attend the court as summons were not served. Two persons' names (3&4) were quashed at the A P High Court. Our lawyer says it is a completely false and baseless case, but it takes time to resolve this case at trial court.
Now we would like to get the case quashed totally. Please provide us suggestions in this regard.

A.You seem to be main accused. In the light of order of AP high court, you may try your luck for quashing of FIR and court proceeding but depending on your assigned role in FIR court may also refuse to quash and if high court make any adverse comment then your case before trial court may get prejudice.

A.Hi,
According to the facts narrated by you, since proceedings against 3&4 stands quashed then there is a fair chance that you might get proceedings to be quashed against 1&2 as well. Since, only the high court has the competence to quash criminal proceedings you may file a suit u/S 482 of CrPC to quash the same.
If you found my answer helpful, then kindly rate it.

A.Hi,
Since proceedings against 3&4 already stands quashed, there is fair chance that further proceedings may also be quashed depending upon the facts. You may file a suit for quashing criminal proceedings u/S 482 of the IPC before the high court as only they have the power to quash proceedings.

A.Every case for accused is totally false and baseless only.
only 3&4 quashing was asked in HC then you can ask for quashing for 1&2 also.
If HC already rejected to quash for 1&2 then she have to prove allegations.

If Bride not came to in-laws house then marriage was consummated ?
need timelines and HC order and FIR to understand if there is ground for quashing for 1&2.

A.Dear client,
By refering your case facts charges against 3and 4 was quashed. Here 1 and 2 also can file petition to squash the proceedings under section 482 of crpc before the honourable High Court. Only High court have a right to quash the proceedings. If the case is baseless surely honourable Highcourt will squash the proceedings in lower court.

A.किसी भी आपराधिक शिकायत को निरस्त करने का अधिकार सिर्फ़ हाई कोर्ट को हैं।भारतीये सविंधान के अनुच्छेद 482 मे आप अपना मामला ले जा सकते हैं।यदि आपके पास इस प्रकार का साक्ष्य है की पूरी घटना झुटी है।तब आपको हाई कोर्ट से अनुतोष प्राप्त हो सकता हैं।

A.Hi,
Power to quash criminal complaints rests with the HC under Sec. 482 CrPC. If there is no prima facie case against you and your family, you can approach the HC to quash the complaint.

A.since charges agaisnt two persons (3&4) are already quashed, therefore, I am presuming that the charges against 1&2 were not quashed.
pls rectify me if I am wrong.
if quashing of the FIR against A & B has not been filed, you can file now.
otherwise, you can also opt for discharge in the trial court.
