It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that it's an offshoot of a matrimonial dispute, allegations are general in nature, entire family members have been implicated on false and vexatious allegations, it's a case of no injury, coupled with the fact that a petition under Section 9 of the Hindu Marriage Act is already pending between the parties FIR is liable to be quashed.
Per contra learned A.G.A, submitted that from the perusal of the impugned F.I.R, and on the basis of the allegations made therein, it cannot be said that no cognizable offence is disclosed against the petitioners.
