Want to file case against my in-laws and wife as per dowry act

Dear Client,
In this situation, it is not possible to file a complaint under Section 3 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. However, the men suffering from false charges filed by their wives and in-laws, have remedies under various statutes. Firstly, you can file a petition under Section 482 of CrPC to quash the FIR and prove to the court that such charges are false and malafide in nature. Further, you can file a case under sections 120B and 503 of IPC for criminal conspiracy and criminal intimidation and seek the remedy. If required, you can consult an advocate for advice and assistance in the matter.
Hope it helps.
Thank you.

Dear Client,
Men who are victims of mental harassment by their wives have several legal options to seek redress. Even though there is no specific statute or provision in the Indian legal system that lists down protective measures against any false allegation or complaint, various relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, Code of Civil Procedure, and the Indian Evidence Act provides several sections under which a husband can file a case against his wife if he believes he is being subjected to mental harassment, conspiracy, false accusations or physical harm and can initiate legal proceedings against frivolous allegations and complaints. Amongst others, inter alia, the first step that should be taken by the victim of a false allegation in India is to seek anticipatory bail from the nearest court having jurisdiction to grant anticipatory bail in case a First Information Report (FIR) is filed against him under Sec. 498A and 406 IPC to get protection from arrest based on a false/fabricated allegation. Before an arrest is made, anticipatory bail can be granted under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. To address a false complaint filed against you, you can seek its quashing through a petition before the High Court under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. The Sec.482 Cr. PC empowers the High Court to dismiss criminal proceedings against the accused. It is essential to prove to the court that the FIR was lodged with malicious intent to cause harm or inconvenience and is devoid of truth. The burden of proof rests on the petitioner. An application for Quashing of FIR can also be filed before the High Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India by means of a Criminal Miscellaneous Writ Petition invoking the extraordinary jurisdiction of the Court in order to quash an FIR. If you feel that false evidence is being framed or produced against you, you can initiate a complaint under Section 191 IPC stating that you are being falsely framed. Collect as much evidence as you can that supports and establishes your stand before the Court. Section 209 of the Indian Penal Code states that any person who dishonestly, fraudulently, or to injure or annoys any person, makes any claim in the court of justice which he knows to be false, he shall be punished with imprisonment which may extend up to 2 years and shall also be levied fine. Section 120B of the Indian Penal Code can also be invoked in case any person feels that a criminal conspiracy that is being formed may be used against him in the future. Section 193 of the Indian Evidence Act states that whoever intentionally submits any false evidence in any stage of judicial proceedings or fabricates any false evidence which may be used in any stage of judicial proceedings shall be punished with a term extending up to seven years and also be liable to fine. If a husband believes that his wife is using threats to intimidate him or his family, he can file a case under Section 503 of IPC for criminal intimidation. Proving mental harassment in a court of law can be challenging, as it often lacks physical evidence. It requires a thorough presentation of circumstantial evidence, witness testimonies, and documentation of the abusive behavior. The credibility of the evidence and the consistency of the victim’s statements play an important role in the outcome of the case.
