Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr. Mrigank Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners. ... RITU BAHRI, J. This petition under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is for quashing the orders Annexure P-1 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Sangrur, vide which orders Annexure P-2 passed by the learned ACJM, Sangrur, dismissing the application for discharge of the petitioners in FIR No. 251 dated 28.6.2006 under Sections 498A/406 IPC registered at Police Station City, Sangrur, has been sustained. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that petitioner Nos. 1,3,4 and 5 have been unnecessarily dragged into the present case. No offence of cruelty or entrustment of dowry articles is made out against them. The allegations are fake and there is no demand of dowry and no act of Crl. Misc. No. M-31039 of 2010 (O&M) [ 2 ] cruelty. Petitioner No.5 Neeru Garg is living at a different place separately with her husband and no charge can be framed against her as per the law. There is general tendency to rope in all the relatives of husband in a litigation for demand of dowry. Petitioner Nos. 4 and 5 were not entrusted with any dowry articles but have received gifts at the time of marriage, so no evidence of misappropriation is made out against petitioner Nos. 4 and 5. After hearing counsel for the petitioner and going through the revisional order, I am of the considered view that this order calls for no interference. The Police at Sangrur has the jurisdiction to get the case registered at Sangrur. In the complaint, the allegations against the accused have been levelled in detail. Even after the birth of the baby she was forced to bring Rs.1,50,000/- from her parents. An attempt was made on 12.7.2004 to kill her by keeping the kitchen gas open. The criminal miscellaneous filed by the accused seeking quashing of FIR No. 251 dated 28.6.2006 under Section 498-A, 406 IPC registered at Police Station Kotwali Sangrur has been dismissed by this Court on 1.12.2008. In view of the above, the present petition is dismissed. 8.2.2011 ( RITU BAHRI ) Rupi JUDGE
