Legal Question in Family Law in India
I got married in sihore (Gujarat) and came to my matrimonial house in mumbai. due to some disputes i left that house & started living with my parents now living in porbandar (Gujarat). Now it is almost 3 yrs i have separated from my husband. I had filed a case under crpc 125. court had passed monthly maintenance of 5000/- Rs. My husband is not giving this money.
I had not made any police complaints while living in mumbai.
I have already filed a Domestic violence case against my husband, his parent & sister in porbandar.
Now i want to file a case of 498 against him & his family members.
Can i file a 498 case in porbandar. Will it be only against my husband or it can be against his family members also ?
please guide me.

Yes you can file a case in Porbandar by showing some cause of action happened in this town. Yes you can file this criminal complaint against your inlaws too.
As per recent decesion of the supreme court you have file the case in mumbai as the cause of action is happened in mumbai.here you can add the inlaws
yes you can file 489a against him and his family members, but must show some cause of action which accrued in porbander. to know how to show it call me
