What is the procedure for dowry case?

Respected Sir/Ma'am There has been a dowry demand from us for my sister's marriage. They are asking for 14 lakhs cash after engagement. We have spent almost 10 lakhs in engagement. We are having some recordings against them but it is not exactly clear. Sir What should we do next?

You should go to your nearest police station and file an FIR, stating that you have received the demand for dowry, as demanding dowry is an illegal act, ther must be a registered police complaint for the same, to proceed further in trial court, and as far as evidence is concerned that is not an issue once the case have been registered by a police officer.

Dear Client, You can get an FIR lodged in the concerned poollice station with respect to this incident. You can directly file a criminal case in the respective Court against the groom side under section 420 IPC and Dowry Prohibition Act.

protect cash gifts from future claims

My grandmother is selling one of her properties. She will gift 50 lakhs to me by transferring money from her bank account to mine. I operate all her documents and bank accounts. She is of sound mind, under no pressure, and she is not manipulated. She is gifting this money at her own will. I am concerned someone else in the family might come up later on and claim that I had done something illegal to get that money from her. What documents should I prepare to prevent that.
