IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-24984 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 18.8.2011 Sabina Begam ....Petitioner Versus The State of Punjab and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Mr.N.L.Sammi, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... MAHESH GROVER, J. No ground to grant the prayer of the petitioner. In this petition he has prayed that direction be issued for registration of an FIR. The facts of the case reveal that a dispute has arisen out of a marital discord where the petitioner alleges harassment on account of demands of dowry. The petitioner has an equally efficacious remedy to file a complaint and approach the learned Magistrate for her grievance. In a dispute which arises from a matrimonial discord the involvement of police should not be encouraged and rather it should be as a measure of last resort. Consequently, the petitioner is dismissed with liberty to Crl.Misc.No.M-24984 of 2011 (O&M) -2- the petitioner to avail herself of any other remedy available under the law. 18.8.2011 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
