The learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner submits that the process which is issued on the said complaint is liable to be quashed. He submitted that from the bare perusal of the complaint, the offences punishable under sections 498A, 323 and 506(II) cannot be said to have been made out. 4. Perusal of the complaint clearly discloses that prima facie allegations of assault and cruelty are clearly made out from the complaint itself.

The respondent – wife had found the documents pertaining to the said marriage alongwith photographs in the cupboard when the petitioner had gone out for some work. The complainant has also alleged that on one pretext or the other, the petitioner did not register the marriage with the Registrar of Marriages. She has also alleged that on several occasions, the Petitioner used to assault her and also used to threaten her. 5. Taking into consideration the averments which are made in the complaint, in my view, no case is made out by the Petitioner for quashing the complaint. 6. Petition is accordingly dismissed. 7. Counsel for respondent No.2 submits that the Petitioner is now in Lucknow. He has not furnished his address. 3 Petitioner shall furnish his address to the respondent No.2 herein, failing which appropriate steps may be taken by the respondent No.2.
