SHEEMA ALI KHAN O R D E R Sheema Ali Khan, J. This application has been filed for quashing the First Information Report of Baisi Police Station Case No. 63 of 2006 instituted under Sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. 2. The petitioner nos. 1 and 2 are the brothers-in-law of the informant Shahina Naaz, whereas petitioner no. 3 is the mother-in-law and petitioner no. 4 is the Gotni, wife of 2 the petitioner no. 1. 3. The facts are that the complainant Shahina Naaz instituted a complaint case against her husband and the petitioners on 06.03.2006. These petitioners were let off in the complaint case, inasmuch as cognizance was taken against the husband only by order dated 19.05.2006. Subsequently, on 02.07.2006, Shahina Naaz filed the present Baisi Police Station Case No. 63 of 2006. 4. During the pendency of this entire matter, there was a compromise between Shahina Naaz and her husband, as a result of which this Court quashed the main complaint case, i.e. Complaint Case No. 392 of 2006 vide order dated 01.12.2009 passed in Criminal Misc. No. 53163 of 2007. 5. Considering the aforesaid facts that the main case alleging demand of dowry and torture has been quashed, no useful purpose would be served in continuing with the present case, as such I quash the First Information Report of Baisi Police Station Case No. 63 of 2006 dated 02.07.2006. 6. This application is thus allowed. ( Sheema Ali Khan, J. ) PATNA HIGH COURT DATED, THE 15th APRIL, 2011 N.A.F.R./ANAND
