Its not easy to strike first- my family did not strike first since wealso thought "How can a girl's family ruin the girl's marriage byfiling false cases on husband&family". That too when the girls own relative(who knew their mentality too well, and could see the falsecases coming) actually hinted us to strike first, but at that point we never thought it was actually a life saving hint.But after experiencing these things for the last 5 years personallyand through others cases, I really believe that striking first is one of the most fruitful actions, if the situation and capability of the victim warrants it.
I have seen this strategy winning hands down in 2cases which I know closely.Now what else do we want other than the clarity of mind!. When one issure that its a war looming over, one has to break the shackles ofemotions and fight single-mindedly- for the WIN. Of course there areother ways of peace, try them if they apply to your situation.
I just felt that its time for this strategy to become open(let all pre-498a try it), what better way to introduce it in yahoo group. But the tragedy is that even then very less number of people will trythis sure-shot strategy(because of fear, forgiveness, wait&watchpropensity, etc.). At the same time shrewd guys from the oppositecamp will take note. Its always a trade-off isn't it, like life.
I am of the belief that we should flood the courts with firststrikes, this should not remain a phone line secret anymore. This kind of extremism is now warranted since normal defence is not working(will yield only years of painful defence). Last but not the least:this is not a secret for legally aware persons, for them its thefirst option :) . So let there be fire-works, we need all pre-498aguys to think on this lines, fire at will.All helplines to take note too. If in pre-498a, let them strike first.
So I would recommend a counter offensive stretegy, if a first strike is suitable in case of any pre-498a case(using IPC 503, 389, , 341, etc as the case may be. Refer Indian Penal Code sections at : http://www.vakilno1.com/bareacts/IndianPenalCode/indianpenalcode.htm )

Agreed, Offense is the best form of defense, but there is a majorrisk> involved here.

This is not a impetuous advise as some may think, this is the method which I have seen working in 2 of the cases, where the girls side had to run with their pants down Of course one should do an analysis of the competition, if they are advocates and love fighting cases, and thrives on them, then u may have to rethink - but an average greedy girl's family will be crushed with the kind of evidences Hubby in Trouble has with the use of IPC 503(Criminal Intimidation) and 389(Extortion threat) + whatever IPC sections applicable in one's case(hubby in trouble has a chance to use manhandling too, from what he told me). This coupled with some more finer points which we can discuss over phone will brighten your chances of sending the opposote party packing. Discuss this with Suresh too for his inputs. So if one has the situation like this and can take the risk of being the first to reach the court, the chances for him is better(conditions as above). This is a classic case of "Offence in the best Defense" . This should be the new option which has to be emphasised when counselling pre-498a members - GO FOR THE KILL(if the person is willing, and situation permitting) Warm Regards,
