Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioner are in-laws of respondent no.3. The marriage between the son of petitioner no.1 and respondent no.3 was solemnized in the year 2013. The impugned FIR has been lodged by the respondent no.3 roping in the entire family of her husband containing absolutely false, concocted, vague and sweeping allegations against them that they were demanding dowry from her and her parents and on account of non fulfilment of the alleged demands of dowry she was being tortured and maltreated by them in her matrimonial home. Hence the impugned FIR is liable to be quashed.
Learned A.G.A. opposed the prayer for quashing but could not dispute the aforesaid fact as argued by learned counsel for the petitioners.
Considering the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties and nature of the allegations, it is directed that the petitioners shall not be arrested in above mentioned case, till the submission of the police report under section 173(2) Cr.P.C. but shall co-operate with the investigation of the case.
With the above direction this petition is finally disposed of.
The case of the petitioners is distinguishable from the case of husband of respondent no.4 namely Yogesh.
