Answered on: 6/26/07, 9:15 pm by Sudershan GoelRe: Punishment for False case under Sec - 498A the only solution for u is to make an effort for compromise; if complaint is filed against you, it may result into your arrest and criminal trial; if the allegations are proved against you, it may result into your sentence also. better, make all out efforts for a compromise even if it is not on your terms.

Answered on: 6/27/07, 1:17 pm by Alok SharmaRe: Punishment for False case under Sec - 498A In case a crminal case is registered you will have to obtain anticipatory bail thereafter trial will follow, which may result in your conviction and sentence. So sane advise is to obtain divorce by mutual consent by paying money to her, if she agree. You can not get any relief by proving her mental illness as the same is not of that decree which is required under HM Act. It is more than 3 years, you can not ask for annulment.
