Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

guidence needed

I got married under HMA.Before marriage my wife told me she won beauty contest and sent me one beauty queen's photo and through computer wrote her name on that beauty queen's photo.But i didnot see her but my parents saw her.They didnot realise that photo was not hers.At the time of marriage when i saw her for the first time i realised that photo was not hers and she did not win any beauty contest.But i married her and continued my marriage for 1year seven months.But now she has lodge 498a against me.I want to file counter case against her.

Can i now file cheating case against her for telling me that she won beauty contest which is lie and sending me one beauty queen's photo and wrote her name on that photo through computer?

Re: guidence needed

No cheating case by you may be maintainable against her. On the contrary, your stand about 'beauty contest etc.' may strengthen her allegatino of cruelty by you on flimsy grounds.
