Crl. Misc. No.M-28340 of 2010 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-28340 of 2010 Date of Decision: July 7, 2011 Jatinder Kaur …..Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and another …..Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Proxy counsel for the petitioner. Mr.K.S.Sidhu, DAG, Punjab. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioner seeks the quashing of FIR registered at the instance of respondent No.2-Hazara Singh alleging that his daughter Balwinder Kaur was married to the brother of petitioner and that she had been maltreated by her husband and other family members. The dowry articles handed over to the husband and his family members stand misappropriated. The quashing has been prayed for by the petitioner on the ground that the marriage of Balwinder Kaur was solemnized with the brother of the petitioner Ranjit Crl. Misc. No.M-28340 of 2010 [2] Singh on June 23, 2002 and that she had been working as JBT teacher and was married prior to the date of the marriage of the daughter of the complainant. She has been falsely roped in alongwith other family members to pressurize her brother. I have considered the facts and circumstances of the case. It is not disputed that the petitioner was married on February 11, 2002, earlier to the daughter of the complainant and that she is residing with her husband and other family members separately at Ferozepur. After going through the FIR and the allegations against the petitioner, it is apparent that there are vague allegations against the petitioner and all the family members of Ranjit Singh have been roped in the case. State counsel has opposed the quashing on the ground that the other co-accused are proclaimed offenders as such the FIR should not be quashed. After taking into consideration the entire facts and circumstances of the case and considering the same in the light of State of Haryana Vs. Bhajan Lal, AIR 2004 SC 604, this Court is of the opinion that the entire family having been involved and there being vague and uncertain allegations against the petitioners, the story of the prosecution against her is improbable. She being married daughter -in-law of complainant has been falsely implicated. The petition is allowed. FIR No.158 dated October 30, 2007 under Sections 406/498A IPC registered at Police Station Division No.7, Crl. Misc. No.M-28340 of 2010 [3] Jalandhar and all the criminal proceedings emanating therefrom are hereby quashed qua the petitioner. However, it is made clear that the prosecution against the other accused will not be effected by the adjudication of this petition. July 7, 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
