My wife has been living separately for over three months. She filed a Domestic Violence case against me two months ago. I’ve appeared in court thrice and submitted my response. Can they still file a dowry harassment case (Section 498A) against me? We are Hindus.

Yes, your wife can still file a dowry harassment case (Section 498A) against you, even though she has been living separately and a domestic violence case is already in progress. These are separate legal proceedings with different elements and procedures.

Previous Article I’m considering buying a flat on a plot of land that was previously an Inam property. The ownership rights were formally registered in 1979 by the Special Deputy Commissioner for Abolition of Inams after paying a fee of Rs 1,500. In 1980, Mr. X purchased this land. Construction of flats began in 2005 in a joint venture between Mr. X and a builder. Would it be safe to buy a flat in this development?
