Heard Sri S.K.A Rizvi, learned counsel for the petitioners, Sri R.K. Mishra, learned brief- holder for the State and perused the impugned F.I.R. as well as material brought on record.
This petition has been filed with the prayer to quash the F.I.R. dated 28.8.2017, registered as Case Crime No.699 of 2017, u/s 498-A IPC, 3/4 D.P. Act, P.S. Atrauli, district Aligarh.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioner no.1 is the husband of respondent no.4. The marriage between the petitioner no.1 and respondent no.4 was solemnized in the year 2014. The impugned FIR has been lodged by the respondent no.4 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 brief-holder 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 and the law laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Rajesh Sharma vs. The State of U.P. in Crl. Appeal No. 1265 og 2017 decided on 27.7.2017, 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 he shall co-operate with the investigation of the case.
