Sandeep Pamarati Vs Ungrateful Knife
This post lists all the false cases filed on me and my family, by the Ungrateful Knife. I filed a few…
- Criminal case under IPC 498A read with sections 3 & 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act (Read bare acts by clicking here and here)
- Discharge Petition filed. And dismissed. Filed Revision at Sessions Court. News paper publication pending. Came to know that this was dismissed on Dec 2022. Whoa!!!
- A Writ Petition seeking declaration of Dowry Givers also as Criminals in a criminal case filed u/s 3 of DP Act 1961 here.
- An IA was filed before APHC seeking relaxation of the condition of depositing my passport with trail court but it got struck here.
- Then a Quash petition was filed before APHC seeking quash of the condition of depositing my passport with trail court here. It was withdrawn because High Court can not quash an order passed by itself, even if abuse of process is happening because of the said order. Now I have to pursue the above IA route.
- ACQUITTED (me and my parents!) from the False Criminal case… First WIN at Trial Court!
- Quasi Civil case under section 12 of Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (Read bare act by clicking here)
- Interim Maintenance application filed. But due to my strong Written Statement, Magistrate skipped the Interim application totally, and proceeded with Examination stage. Finished Cross of PW-1, after which the petitioner absented herself from Feb 2022 and her Counsel also absented totally from Dec-2021… Not sure if they will ever return to this Court.
- A Criminal Petition seeking disposal of my DV Case in 60 days here. First WIN at AP High Court!
- This petition was PARTLY- ALLOWED only due to above speedy trial Order from High Court.
- Now filed a Criminal Appeal u/s 29 of PWDV Act against this part-allowed judgment here.
- The Respondent remained absent even after newspaper publication so Family Court set her as Ex-parte.
- Had to file a Speedy trial Petition before High Court again, this time Family Court Judge is delaying pronouncement of Final Orders. Another success! Details here.
- WON the APPEAL, so the Fake DV case is DISMISSED.
- The Respondent remained absent even after newspaper publication so Family Court set her as Ex-parte.
- Interim Maintenance application filed. But due to my strong Written Statement, Magistrate skipped the Interim application totally, and proceeded with Examination stage. Finished Cross of PW-1, after which the petitioner absented herself from Feb 2022 and her Counsel also absented totally from Dec-2021… Not sure if they will ever return to this Court.
- Criminal case under under 494 and 495 IPC (Read the text of sections here and here)
- Had to file a Speedy trial Petition before High Court, as the Trial Court Judge is delaying pronouncement of Final Orders.
- Due to incompetent lawyer I had to engage, I could not take advantage of this speedy trial Order yet.
- Whatever happens, happens for our own good, so will NOT hurry this matter until I get favorable Order in Nullity case here.
- Civil Declaration of Nullity of marriage under Section 11 of Hindu Marriage Act
- After recording my evidence (Examination in Chief), subsequently, Written Arguments were also filed.
- Unfortunately, my Nullity Petition was DISMISSED.
- Seeking grant of Decree of Divorce on the grounds of Cruelty and Desertion under Section 13 of Hindu Marriage Act
- Filed on

False Domestic Violence Case
I understand that you are looking for valuable information to fight the false domestic violence (DV) case filed on you or your loved one, by the knife (alleged wife) or any of her relatives under Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act 2005, hence you are here.
Worry not.
In this running blog post (meaning regularly updated post), you will find valuable information and helpful links to various parts of this site that will be specific to the subject/topic you are looking for.
Let’s leave the human emotional part of realizing that you are dragged into Legal litigation for a separate post here and get down to the business i.e, What Do We Do Now?
Let’s come up with the standard equation as below:
Demand (DV Allegations made) Vs Supply (Reliefs claimed as per PWDV Act)
The Knife (or someone from her gang) would allege a variety of allegations on you and implicate parents as a routine matter as instigators such as
1. Deserted
2. Physical Assault
3. Mental harassment
4. Did not give finances for livelihood or household expenses
For each of the above allegations, the PWDV Act provides a relief, if the allegation is proven such as
1. Compensation
2. Protection
3. Residence
