Advocate for the petitioners submit that admittedly the husband and the complainant were residing at Chandapura, Bengaluru.
Her father-in-law, mother-in-law, and

Hassan.
An advocate of

dispute between the husband and wife and only for the reason that they are the
close relatives of her husband, the petitioners have been falsely implicated in
the case.
Advocate submits
that there are no allegations of specific nature to attract the alleged
offenses against the in-laws and the allegations against the in-laws are all
omnibus in nature.
Per contra, the complainant has made an allegation against all the accused persons and an investigation is under progress.
Since the case is registered for cognizable offenses, exercising the powers under Section 482 of Cr.P.C. is unjustified and prays to dismiss the petition.
Courts Opinion 498A quash judgment 22.07.2021
From the complaint, it is very clear that immediately after the marriage her husband and
the complainant was residing separately in a rented house at Chandapura,
Anekal Taluk, Bangalore.
Further, the perusal of the FIR would go to show that admittedly her husband and
father-in-law herein are the residents of Harappanahalli Taluk, Davanagere
while other in-laws are the residents of Hassan District.
It is seen that there are no specific overt acts alleged by the complainant as against any of the in-laws herein.
The allegations against her in-laws are all omnibus in
nature and the only specific allegation made in the complaint is against the
husband.
In the absence of specific allegations against in-laws and also if there are necessary materials to show that the said in-laws are residing separately, the initiation of criminal proceedings against them just for the reason that they are the near relatives of the husband are not good in law.
The aforesaid judgments squarely
apply to the facts of the case on hand.
The complaint
averments prima facie do not take place in the case against the in-laws for the
alleged offenses.
