My brother-in-law has been living in France for eight years. He recently returned to India to visit his family. However, there’s a false police complaint against him alleging he assaulted someone in his village. He was arrested and is currently in jail. We submitted bail papers in Chandigarh, but the judge wants him to stay in jail for a few days. We are worried about his future. What can we do to secure his release on October 17th, 2016, and prevent the other party from reopening the case? Please guide us on how to proceed.
Best Answer
The bail application being rejected is not uncommon, especially when there is a serious allegation. You should engage a lawyer specializing in criminal law to: 1) Challenge the bail rejection order in a higher court, and 2) Investigate the police complaint thoroughly to find evidence that can be used to prove his innocence. The lawyer can also advise on how to prevent future harassment from the other party.
