If bail is not obtained police is at liberty to arrest you at any time. After bail is obtained you can easily contest the case on merits by taking defence that the case has been filed against you out of vengeance as you had filed a case of adultery .

Hello,

1) You need to file for Anticipatory Bail immediately as an FIR has been filed against you.You need to contest the 498A matter by appointing a lawyer to defend you appropriately.

2) Please know that no panchayat has any authority to grant divorce. You can file for divorce on grounds of adulterous relationship of your wife and the court order upholding the same.

Please note the panchayat cannot grant divorce which could be recognised in the eyes of law. You now will have to contest the 498A case on merits mentioning in your reply with all the particulars in the form of evidence the adultery committed by your wife.

Also file for anticipatory ball immediately so that you could contest your case since then police will bit arrest you.

First of all obtain bail in 498A case and contest the same as it is counterblast and after thought because you got order for her adulterous relationship. Thereafter file divorce on the ground of adultery as divorce can only be granted by court and not by Panchayat.

I agree with above experts.
