1. This 498A menace is over now. As per Supreme Court order, police will not make any arrest without conducting an investigation. Section 498A of CPC has completely lost its teeth now,

2. You are paying the maintenance amount as per Court order. You can not decide to stop its payment of your own with out court order. You shall have to file a petition before the Court for reviewing its decision or file an appeal before the appellate court challenging the decision of the lower court. You can also file a perjury case for her lying before the Court,

3. You do not have to ask for any answer from her. You just bring to the notice of the Court as to what you found about her employment about which she had given false statement before the Court.

1. Is it that easy for a comman person who doesn't fulfill her wishes will be behind bars because of this law? Who did not even did a single mistake?

In the initial stage your case was not properly represented by your lawyer hence you were remanded and sent to jail, however you can contest and challenge her false case during trial.

2. Can I put the maintenance amount in pending to pay her until we get the response from her as she lied to the court that she resigned but she did not.

Your advocate should take steps to call for the documentary evidence from the company about her employment and present status, a representative from her company should be summoned as witness through court proceedings to make the clear about her employment status. She will get startled.

3. Or Can I pay directly to the court and ask for stay order until I get correct answer from her as she herself submitted document stating that she is on leave.

In the application to summon her employer, you can seek stay of further payments until the matter is decided.

1. There is no point in pondering on this issue since that art is already gone and now attains philosophical discussion. Since law is there it is use and misuse come together.

2. No, you can not.

3. No you can not do this either.

1. You went to jail because you did not exercise due diligence in the days leading up to the lodging of FIR and after the lodging of FIR. To put it more precisely, you did not apply for anticipatory bail.

2. The court has ordered you to pay the amount to her. You have to comply with the court order. If you are aggrieved by the order then you may challenge the order in the High Court. Cross examination is bound to be conducted.

3. You can, with the permission of court, deposit the amount in the court if she does not accept it. You may also seek a stay order from the High Court against the order of the lower court.

1. Yes he can.

2. Your lawyer can oppose the request of your wife's counsel.

3. If the request for assisting the public prosecutor is turned down by the court it will imply that none other than the public prosecutor will be in the picture.

1. Can the wife lawyer request court to be assistant for public prosecutor?

Yes, the defacto complainant can engage her own lawyer to assist prosecution by filing an application before the concerned court, but the lawyer has limited role to play, he cannot prosecute nor conduct trial, he can simply assist the public prosecutor by remaining silent during the proceedings of the cae in the rial court.

2. Can my lawyer request court not to accept the above question 1 ?

No he Cannot do so,because it is the right of the defacto complainant.

3. Can our lawyer request court only one can be there , either public prosecutors or there lawyer.

Dont create new rules on your own. The court will take care of the procedures to be followed as per law.

Just challenge her case through your lawyer and do notbe worried about the external things.

1. The case of 498A is between the state and the accused. Lawyers assist the Court to deliver Judgment and do not pray before the Court for direction to assist each other by Court order. Your wife;s lawyer is the observer here and can interfere and answer questions if asked by the Court,

2. If he asks the Court for permission to assist the P.P., then certainly your lawyer should strongly object to the said prayer,

3. Your lawyer need not forward such prayer since it is obvious that P.P. is the lawyer for the Govt. and wife is the default party being the complainant and his lawyer has no role to play here. However, your wife can file a W.P. before the High Court against police inaction and in that case her lawyer can appear, plead and argue before the Court.
