husband. The torture that is mentioned in the complaint is caused by the
husband. And vague allegations are made against the grandfather, mother-in-law,
father-in-law, and sister-in-law of the wife.
The allegations are that the petitioners instigated the husband to be rude
to the wife and these were the primary reason for the relationship getting problematic
between the husband and wife.
The petitioner in the Criminal Petition is aged 84 years at the time of
registration of the complaint and since no overt act is indicated in the
complaint against him, the age at which the petitioner, is cannot even seem to
commit any overt act.
It is also not in dispute that the father-in-law and mother-in-law stay
at a different place other than the place they stay the couple.

under Section 498A IPC would result in an abuse of the process of law. Therefore, proceedings pending stand
