Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Thank you MR Arya & Co.

There was a representation from my end by a lawyer but the Judge was not willing to listen anything because she was bribed and she declared me Absconder and in the bracket she wrote PO...Absconder(Proclaimed Offender). Is absconder same as PO.

My wife (USA Citizen)and her parents filed a false dowry complaint in India while I was already In USA.Our marriage was done in India .I did not go back to India and now my divorcve is already done and I have become a usa citizen but the dowry case is still going on in India .As I did not appeared in the court ,the court has declared me as a Proclaimed offender.

How disgusting it is that my wife filed a bogus dowry complaint as her father bribed some higher police officials and the court has declared me as a PO while I was in USA when they filed a complaint.When corruption will go away from India?? And How can I go back to india safely,I mean do I have to take some precautionary measures before I can go back to India..............

Where I can file the application to cancel the orders for PO ,in the session court or the high court.I was declared PO/Obscender by the lower court. And the lawyers of the lower court told me That once you are declared PO/ Absconder you cannot engage a attorney however for to apply anticipatory bail ,I can hire a lawyer but not to file an application.Is this true.

it is not true that once you are declared a PO, you cannot be represented through a lawyer. your lawyer would file an application for cancellation of orders and in the event of dismissal of the application, one can approach the High Court for appropriate orders.
