The case of the prosecution in brief is that the complainant married A.1 in the month of February, 2008 and at the time of marriage, her parents gave dowry as per the demand of the accused. After the marriage, A-1/husband left for America. After that, the in-laws of the complainant subjected to physical and mental harassment for additional dowry, threatened her to kill if the same is revealed to anybody and locked her in a room. Several serious allegations are stated in the complaint. She some how escaped from the matrimonial house and went to her parents house.

There is no hard/diﬃculty for the petitioners to proceed with the investigation. In view of the same, the Investigation Oﬃcer is hereby directed to verify the genuineness and reliability of the allegations made in the complaint and after completion of the investigation, ﬁle the ﬁnal report either way.
