"By far the best legal document drafting expert! I’ve been struggling with a false 498/406 and DV case from last 2 years and so far met 20+ Different lawyers from lower court to high court, but the major difference I see in Sahil is his intentions of making me out of this situation so that I can be a free man. Only a 30 min discussion with Sahil was an eye opener to me. Now I'm feeling more confident that such cases can also be defended and law can be moved from women-centric to men-centric. I have asked Sahil for a ‘bayan’ for my DV case which he, after analyzing 50+ documents, has made it in a lightning speed time of 24 hours. I would also say I was surprised that he didn’t forget to mention even a single nook of any statement that could be in my favor. I would highly recommend anyone for a free 30 min call that can give a new hopeful direction; without losing anything."

"Sahil is one of the best brains to help someone to fight these kinds of cases. His grasping power is awesome to understand your case quickly and provide a solution. Sahil knows very well which point he has to highlight in the draft so people like us get the clarity on our own case and get the best result in the court. His knowledge is admirable as he has a good grip on different IPCs and Cr.P.C from our law system. I worked with him on my 498a petition and feeling quite confident after working with him. I will recommend everyone to talk to Sahil once to get the best result from your case. Now he is my good friend too. Thanks Sahil."

"I got in connect with Sahil sir few months back to seek his guidance for 125 CrPC, DV, and 498A. I must say it's really helpful and Sahil sir had drafted a strong WS for me. It was under the sheer guidance of Sahil sir that I could tackle my mediation in a positive manner."

"I am very thankful to Apaizers Mens Rights in supporting and helping me in my case and saved my lakhs of rupees. Sir also motivates time to time, also advises how to maintain your health first which is NECESSARY in this critical condition.

"I got my DV interim maintenance appeal prepared from Apaizers Mens Rights for the session court. It is so nicely drafted and prepared with relevant case reference due to which the session court dismissed the interim maintenance order passed by the lower court. Then in my DV case, the opposite party filed for execution petition for the arrears of the maintenance amount 1.2 lakhs, the objections drafted by Sahil Sir with the relevant facts and case reference got accepted by the court and the court dismissed the OP execution petition."

Smt.Sujata D/O Anant Midlagajani vs The State Of Karnataka on 10.02.2022

498a quash after chargesheet 10.02.2022 – In this article, the Karnataka High court has held that the allegations made against the sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, father-in-law & mother-in-law are stray and omnibus in nature without quoting any specific incident against them. Further, the Karnataka High court has held that it is clear by reading the FIR that majorly the allegations are made against the husband who is not before this High court. The allegations made against the petitioner's in-laws are attributed to minor disputes and don’t attract the provisions of Section 498A IPC. Therefore, the Karnataka High court ordered to quash the proceedings against the petitioners.


Case Brief – 498A quash after chargesheet 10.02.2022

What is clearly understood from the complaint is that the relationship between the husband and the wife was getting strained with each passing day and soon it reached an inevitable stage, hence a legal notice was issued on 15.7.2019 seeking annulment of marriage, pursuant to which the husband filed a petition for divorce before the competent Court.

The marriage between the husband and the wife was solemnized on 13.05.2018 according to the rites and customs of their religion. The relationship between the husband and the wife was running smoothly in the initial years.

After filing of the above-said petition for divorce, a complaint is registered by the wife on 29.11.2019 for the offenses punishable under Section 498A, 323, 504, 506 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.

The police after investigation filed a chargesheet against all the petitioners in the matter. The relationship between the petitioners and the wife is required to be noticed at the outset.

At that juncture, the petitioners who are sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, father-in-law & mother-in-law of the wife have knocked on the doors of this Court to quash the present petition.

Arguments – 498A quash after chargesheet 10.02.2022

Advocate appearing for the petitioners stated that the contents of the complaint would take this case before the court. He also contended that there are no allegations against any other family member of the husband who is the petitioner in this petition before this court.

Further, he stated that entire allegations made in the complaint are against the husband who is not before this Court. Therefore, the proceedings if allowed to be continued against the petitioners, would be an abuse of the process of law and it would be unfair for the petitioners to make them suffer through the process of complaint.

The advocate of the wife, on the other hand, counter the allegations made by the advocate of the petitioners by contending that the wife would vehemently refute the submissions made and contending that the complaint narrates certain specific circumstances against the other family members of the husband who are dragged into the criminal proceedings.

Court Opinion - 498A quash after chargesheet 10.02.2022

After knowing the above-mentioned facts and reading the complaint it clearly brings out various cases of harassment both mentally and physically caused by the husband and nothing about the other petitioners except stray sentences with regard to the father-in-law without quoting any specific reference to any particular overt act by the father-in-law. Other family members who are the brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law are all dragged into the criminal proceedings without there being any specific allegation in the complaint.

Therefore, in the court's view, if a trial initiated against the family members who are the petitioners herein is allowed, it would be an abuse of the process of the law.

The court's view in this regard is fortified by the latest judgment of the Apex Court in Kahkashan Kausar @ Sonam and Others v State of Bihar and Others, wherein the Apex Court held as follows:

That it would be unreasonable to rope in the family members into the matrimonial litigation to the rigors of a trial, i.e., general and omnibus allegations cannot be raised in a situation where the relatives of the wife's husband are forced to suffer the harshness of the trial.

Before we delve deep into detail on the nature and content of allegations made, it becomes pertinent to mention that Section 498A IPC was incorporated to prevent cruelty committed upon a woman by her husband and her in-laws, by putting state intervention.

Therefore, the court following all the earlier judgments on the issue of dragging family members into the criminal proceedings without there being any allegations against them has reiterated the earlier judgments and has quashed all the proceedings against the family members.
