Crl. Misc. No.M-46472 of 2007 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No.M-46472 of 2007 Date of Decision: 18.01.2010 Smt. Shipra Verma etc. ....Petitioners Versus State of Haryana etc. ...Respondents CORAM : Hon'ble Ms. Justice Nirmaljit Kaur Present:- Mr. Amit Jain, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Pradip Virk, D.A.G., Haryana ***** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? ** NIRMALJIT KAUR, J. (ORAL) The present petitioners are married sisters-in-law. The complainant registered FIR No.206 dated 11.06.2007 registered under Sections 498-A/323/406, 506 and 341 IPC at Police Station Sector 5, Gurgaon, in which, the allegations were made against the husband, mother-in-law and all other family members including the present petitioners. Admittedly, the petitioner No.1 was married to Uttam Verma since 09.11.1992 and is settled at Lucknow. She is working as Assistant Teacher in City Montessori School, Gomtinagar, Lucknow since 02.01.2005. The fact that her husband Uttam Verma is posted as Manager Crl. Misc. No.M-46472 of 2007 2 in State Bank of India is evident from the certificate which is placed on record as P-2. The certificate in respect of petitioner No.1 issued by the Principal, CMS, Gomati Nagar, Lucknow is placed on record as P-3. The petitioner No.2 is married since April 1999 to an Army Officer, Aman Chaudhary. From the perusal of the FIR, it is evident that the allegations against the present petitioners are vague and not specific. Notice was issued to the complainant Monica Verma. However, no one has appeared on behalf of respondent No.2 despite service. It is a well settled proposition of law that by and large in a matrimonial dispute while registering the FIR, the entire family of the husband is enroped. It is apparent that the present petitioners have nothing to do with the matrimonial discord of the complainant and are residing in their matrimonial houses since 1992 and 1999, respectively. There is no cause or opportunity for them to interfere in the life of the complainant. Even otherwise, there are no specific allegations. The allegations against them are vague. Accordingly, it is a fit case in the facts and circumstances to interfere under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C and quash the FIR qua the present petitioners as the same is nothing but the misuse of process of law. In view of the above facts and well settled proposition of law, the present petition is alllowed and FIR No.206 dated 11.06.2007 registered under Sections 498-A/323/406, 506 and 341 IPC at Police Station Sector 5, Gurgaon and all subsequent proceedings qua the present petitioners are, accordingly, quashed.
