Legal Question in Family Law in India
My brother-in-law, married for 4 years, and divorced. His In-laws filed a case IPC-498-A against
him and his Mother, Father and Sister. To his sister I have married, and we are not involved in any
wrong doing, but they added her name in the case, so as to harras.
We are away from home for more than 8 years. In this situation, how can they send summons / notices to us, to appear in the court.
Recently I read one article, that 'Dowry harrasment case' is being mis-used, to take a sort of revenge with help of Law.
Please suggest me, what could be the best option to avoid our connection to the case.

You may seek deletion of your name from the FIR / case. However, you may have to appear as a witness, if the court pass such orders.
Anticipatory bail is the only remedy- stating all the facts before the court.
