SUCCESS STORY – A MOTHER OF NRI 498A VICTIM GOT ACQUITTAL
BACKGROUND: Previously divorced Australian citizen with child from previous marriage tied knot with single Indian woman through an arrange Marriage in 2009, informed everything about previous relationship prior to tieing the knot. Visited India where everything happened quickly. He sponsored his wife to Australia and got permanent residence under sponsorship. Wife left home 10 days after and started living with brother for approx 1 month and returned to India to attend marriage of her brother, whom she sponsored using her permanent residence. During her visit filed a 498a case against the entire family. Case registered against 3 members. Multiple attempts to add others over the years. Discharge application denied. Her parents had connections with political parties that led to the arrest of my father during investigation. Anticipatory Bail for mother following recovery during fathers arrest.
Father passed away during the battle. Almost gave up at the time and was close to surrender. PO filed against me. Mother filed the battle on her own. Attended court on every date for 6 years except when she had retina displacement and surgery. Finally mother got acquitted on all charges “prosecution miserably failed to prove” with the end comments “beyond reasonable doubt” just to save the #498a wife from trouble.
The Australian Citizen is still declared Proclaimed person. He is hoping to file for FIR and PO quash based on the entirety of evidence. Lets see what happens. In the mean time he is expecting good times and get together with someone special soon.
Words of Strength from the NRI, whose mother got acquittal
This I learnt and I recommend are:
One should hire Good lawyer,
One should also have Good advisers,
Be prepared for a long battle upto 10 years, 7 years in our case from fir to acquittal for mother.
Consider reconciliation if you have children and work out the differences, consider paying if there is a reasonable amount following negotiations. Do cost vs benefit analysis of your own whether you can afford 10 to 15 year battles or can get away with few lacs.
Fighting a case and winning has its own relief and advantages but wasting years in doing so just to get order acquitted beyond reasonable doubt is saddening.
All the best and hope all get success in fighting false cases.
Words of Praise for Sahodar and Shonee Kapoor from the fighter
At Times when i had no one to talk to and feeling helpless, the only name that would come to my mind is Shonee.
