Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Re: 498a queries

1. She can apply for impounding. However, in view of a recent supreme court ruling, court is not empowered to impound the passport.

2. In cases like 498-A, Red Corner Notice through Interpol is difficult. Ask your lawyer to check court records to find out whether a Red Corner Notice is issued. If a Red Corner Notice is issued, then police of area of your residence or work in USA may arrest you and a proceeding of extradition will start.

Yes to all.I suggest you should tell your father to consult a local lawyer and as soon as possible submit yourself to the court.

Re: 498a queries

(1) Yes, the passport may be impounded and you may be compelled to return to India;

(2) Yes, the police may refer the mater to interpol and they may request the US Police to arrest you and send you to India.

They may also directly persuade the US authorities to seek your return to India or arrest and detention in USA till further proceedings.
