However, R-4 was harassing their daughter for more dowry. While so, on 26-07-2006, the 4th respondent telephoned them and enquired as to the whereabouts of his wife. Thereupon they suspected and gave a report to the police. However, the police could not trace her. 3. The 3rd respondent-Station House Officer, filed counter- affidavit, inter alia, stating that on the report of the petitioners, he registered a case in Crime No.26 of 2006 as ‘Woman Missing’.
