Note: If you don’t already have a legal case but are fearing one soon, read this post to find out your probability of getting a false case filed on you.

What to do if CAW cell/police/advocate is putting pressure to compromise
Gentlemen and friends, here we attempt to discuss the dreaded C-word called Compromise. It is a favourite word used by advocates, CAW cell, and judges too when we face false allegations of domestic violence, dowry harassment aka IPC 498a, IPC 406 aka keeping wife’s gifts/stridhan etc. etc. Also read the Innocent until proven guilty is the law if you haven’t already since that sets the context for this post. I have written another post about compromise during 498a cases, you can read that too. Regarding police/CAW putting pressure to compromise: The sad reality is many people who face these issues ACTUALLY do compromise in terms of ‘settling’ the case by paying money and getting the coveted so called ‘mutual divorce’ and buying peace.

Tax Evasion Petition and RTI follow up
In case the woman's party claims to have given huge amount in dowry, and if they don't have income to support such amount of dowry, then you can file Tax Evasion Petition (TEP) followed by RTI on TEP to Income tax dept against FIL and dowry givers. Basic idea is to find out how they were able to give so much dowry if they do not have income. In case it comes out from RTI that they did not have so much income then their case will weaken considerably. If they still insist that they gave that much dowry, then they will have to explain to IT dept whey they did not disclose that income in those and previous years. IT rules are clear that if someone hides income to avoid income tax, they have to pay back income taxes along with interest for all the years and also penalty for evasion of income … [Read more...] about Tax Evasion Petition and RTI follow up
