Dear Querist

My opinion on your queries are as under:

1. If the JMFC is satisfied, will he ask for a response from police on why FIR was not registered?

Opinion: no,as per your information, it is a complaint case under section 200 of Cr.P.C. and magistrate will not ask for a response from police.

2. If the JMFC is satisfied, will I be directed to appear before Court or will the U.P. police be directed to arrest and produce me and my parents in Court? In either of the case, will I be sent to custody in U.P?

Opinion: the court shall issue summons to you and your family if satisfy with her version.

Police shall have no role in this only to serve summon.

3. If I'm to be arrested by police, will such arrest be executed by Delhi police or U.P. police? (all accused persons are living in Delhi).

Opinion: no police role for arrest.

4. What should be my next step? I think U.P. State Cr.P.C. amendment does not provide for anticipatory bail. Am I right? If so, what to do?

Opinion: after receiving summon from the court immediately file a criminal revision under section 397/398 of Cr.P.C. or file quashing petition before high court under section 482 of Cr.P.C.

5. Will I get a chance to (a) produce documents in my defence and (b) cross examine the Complainant and supporting witnesses?

Opinion: yes, you will have to get chance.

6. If yes to #5 above, when will I get such a chance - after appearing before the Court on date fixed OR after being sent to custody and getting regular bail OR without appearing myself, but through a lawyer?

Opinion: first of all get bail then argue.

7. What is the evidence value (not admissibility) of a certified medical record of a private hospital, regarding the fact of my hospitalization (just the bare factum of being hospitalized, not the reasons for it nor treatment or anything else), without examining the Doctor concerned or hospital staff?

Opinion: aa above,

If there is no allegations against you or your family for dowry demand thr raised the question on jurisdiction of court as per section 177/178 of Cr.P.C.

Feel free to Call

1. No. The petition will be simply forwarded to police with direction to investigate the complaint and file FIR if necessary.

2. It will depend on the police report

3. UP police (within the jurisdiction of the JMFC)

4 There is no provision in UP for AB.

5. It depends on the trial proceedings

6. During trial of the case.

7. It depends that on what grounds and purpose you argue or put forth such evidences.

believe me its sheer coincidence that it happened so. Naturally, my wife was and is not aware of it since she had left me and not even on speaking terms with me!

You can put forth such evidence, it depends on how you are able to prove it and the opposite party deny the same.
