Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Respected Attorneys,

There are two high court notices that have come to one Mrs.Y, (3rd Respondent, a lady) one is a Civil Matter (RFA ) and another is a Cr. Petition both are from her sister in law (petitioner) who has suffered setback in the lower courts.

Mrs.Y is an officer in Z Company (Govt) and her name was changed in the year 1986-87 from X to Y soon after her marriage by following due procedure of law and the changes have also been effected in all her personal and official records. Mrs.Y has been living with her husband separately since 1986.

The notices that have come in her name is one through police station being criminal and the other is directly from the court being civil in nature

In both the notices, her name and address are not her changed name and changed address. We know fully well that it is just an deliberate attempt on the part of the petitioner to prove that Mrs.Y continues to stay in the old address to score a major point in one of her cases, the case is filed under domestic violence.

Police officials have located R3's official address and tried to serve the same notice (with old name and old address). MrsY told them the fact and asked them to get it corrected (name and address) and then she would take it. But, police tried to pressurize her to take it saying that Mrs.Y cannot refuse it as it has come from High Court and it is understood that they tried to hand it over to the office to issue it which they did not succeed.

Respondent 1 (blind husband of Petitioner) and Respondent 2 ( R2 & R3 are sisters of R1) ) have received similar notices. R1 in the care of his younger sister (R2) staying in her house after (deserted by petitioner wife in 1996 itself) the demise of the Respondents father in 2009. In 2010 a false case is registered by petitioner to gain an entry to the house of R2 ( house gifted by the father through a registered gift deed during his life time being his self acquired house).

People with honesty & integrity care more for respect. In this case, the Petitioner / her counsel may be influencing the police to some how issue the notice to R3 to prove the point that R2 & R3 stay together to derive benefit out of it in her plea.

R3 is very much worried about her job and also reputation when these police keep visiting her place of work frequently and making deliberate attempts to somehow issue the notice under pressure, which we consider is an abuse of process of law.

It is our humble request to your good selves to kindly guide us as to how to go about this matter so that it does not affect the case as well as the reputation of R3.

I thank your good selves in advance and express my gratitude for all the wonderful help rendered to us on earlier occasions also.

Regards, Best wishes and greetings...

Sincerely

Mrs.Y
