CAW CELL DELHI | MenCell.Org Delhi: Complaint के बाद complainant investigation में cooperate न करे तो?
A CAW Cell Delhi complaint does not mean that the investigation can simply run on allegations alone.
There is another side of the process that families often don't think about: What happens when the complainant herself does not cooperate with the investigation?
In Kritika Kaushik v. State, decided by the Additional Sessions Judge (FTC), Shahdara, Karkardooma Courts, Delhi on 22 May 2026, the complainant had approached the CAW Cell before leaving India for the USA. FIR No. 264/2023 of PS Farsh Bazar was registered under matrimonial-cruelty provisions.
During investigation, however, the record showed a very different problem.
The Investigating Officer issued notices seeking information and supporting material, including specific dates, particulars of alleged incidents and bills relating to the dowry list. The complainant did not respond to the Section 91 CrPC notices and did not join the investigation.
The IO eventually filed a closure/cancellation report, citing the complainant's failure to participate and provide the requested corroborative material.
And then came another important stage.
The Trial Court supplied the closure report and gave the complainant opportunities to participate, including the option of appearing through video conferencing because she was living in the USA.
The court record states that she did not appear despite directions and also did not file a protest petition within the opportunities provided. The Trial Court consequently accepted the closure report.
The matter then reached the Sessions Court in revision.
The Sessions Court examined the procedural history and held that there was no apparent illegality or impropriety in the Trial Court's order. The revision was dismissed.
For someone dealing with CAW Cell Delhi, Crime (Women) Cell, a matrimonial FIR or a Delhi NCR 498A/406-type proceeding, this creates a very different point to understand:
Complaint करना और investigation को prove करने योग्य material देना — दोनों अलग बातें हैं.
A husband or family facing a matrimonial complaint should therefore preserve the investigation record carefully:
CAW Cell complaint → notices from IO → documents demanded → replies → statements → investigation proceedings → final report/chargesheet/closure report.
Don't simply assume that the first complaint is the entire story.
And if the police asks for a document, statement or specific information, the actual notice and response should be preserved. Later, those records may become important when the court examines what happened during investigation.
This is particularly important where the parties are living outside Delhi, outside India, or in different parts of Delhi NCR. Distance does not automatically end the procedural obligations connected with a pending investigation.
क्योंकि बाद में यह कहना कि “मुझे मौका नहीं मिला” और record में repeated notices दिखाई देना — दोनों बिल्कुल अलग situations हो सकती हैं.
For husbands and families dealing with CAW Cell Nanakpura, CAW Cell Seema Puri, CAW Cell West District or another Crime (Women) Cell matter, don't wait until a closure report, chargesheet or court proceeding appears before reconstructing the investigation record.
जो notice आज छोटा लगता है, वही कल court record का important हिस्सा बन सकता है.

Case-specific caution: Kritika Kaushik v. State turned on its own investigation record, notices, opportunities provided by the Trial Court and the complainant's conduct in that particular case. It does not mean that every closure report following a CAW Cell complaint will automatically be upheld. The reasons for non-cooperation, material collected during investigation and the procedure followed by the investigating agency must be examined case by case.
