SHASHI DEVI, WIFE OF BINDESHWARI PRASAD SINGH, RESIDENT OF VILLAGE JEVACCHPUR, P.S. GAMHARIA, DISTT. MADHEPURA. --------- OPPOSITE PARTIES. ----------- 3. 15.09.2010 Heard the parties. The petitioners seek quashing of the order dated 20.1.2009 passed by Chief Judicial Magistrate, Madhepura, in Complaint Case No. C-241 of 2008 by which he has taken cognizance under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. The counsel for the petitioners has submitted that even conceding the entire allegations made in the Complaint, no offence whatsoever would be made out against the accused persons. The learned counsel for the Opposite Party No. 2 has disputed this contention. On considering the facts narrated in the Complaint, I am of the view that no allegation whatsoever is made out against the petitioner No. 1, who happens to be the sister-in-law of the Complainant. In view of such, so far as the petitioner No. 1 is concerned, the proceeding in Complaint Case No. C-241 of 2008 is hereby quashed. 2 With regard to petitioner No. 2, a prayer is being made for withdrawal of the application to raise all the points at the stage of framing of charge. The same is allowed. With these observations, the application is partly allowed. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
