My sister-in-law is being harassed by my cousin and his wife. They previously filed false complaints against her mother-in-law and other family members, alleging dowry harassment and even murder. The police investigated and found these claims to be baseless. Now, they are targeting me, falsely accusing me of assault and threatening me with goons. I was at the police station all morning to report their harassment, and the police found their claims false. Can I obtain a court order preventing my arrest based on future false complaints from my cousin and his wife? They want me out of the house, which is jointly owned by us three cousins, and the other two live abroad.

Yes, you can seek a court order under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to prevent your arrest based on false complaints. Since the police already found their previous allegations baseless, you can argue that this is a pattern of harassment and that their current claims are also likely false. You can also seek legal action to protect your rights in the property, as it is jointly owned.
