There is really no need to pass anything to __init__ in form In view itself you can access the forms member/global variables. It is python, so not much is private. unlike java. (other way would be to create setter methods in form, if you are an OO purist)
in the View itself, I added form = NewCaseForm() form.fields['owner'].queryset = Participant.objects.filter(group__exact=my_group) and it works. If I am missing some nuance which can cause issues later on , please let me know.
