I’m working in Jharkhand and my wife is from Delhi. She doesn’t want my parents to live with us, so she and her family are trying to frame me with false charges. They’ve already filed a case against me in Delhi’s Karkardooma court. I was called to the women’s cell a few times. In the last meeting, they tried to give me a list of her belongings, which I refused. The next meeting is in a week. I have a few questions: 1. If they give me the list again at the next meeting, will the counseling stop, and will they file an FIR right away? If so, how long will it take for them to file the FIR? 2. If we apply for anticipatory bail, how long will it take after they file the FIR for me to get bail? 3. My wife’s family has powerful connections. Could they use their influence to bypass the law and stop me from getting anticipatory bail? If so, is there anything I can do to prevent this?

Under Indian law, the Women’s Cell counseling process does not automatically lead to an FIR. Refusal of the belongings list will not necessarily stop counseling or result in immediate FIR filing. Anticipatory bail can be applied for after the FIR is filed, but the time frame for grant depends on the specific facts and court proceedings. While influence can affect proceedings, the legal system is designed to ensure fair treatment. It’s crucial to consult a lawyer for personalized legal advice and to protect your rights.
