The petitioner in Criminal Application No.634/07 is the accused in a case filed under section 354 of IPC. The petitioner is the father-in-law of one Mrs. Meena and she has filed FIR based on which the criminal case is registered. Mrs. Meena has filed two other complaints pursuant to which an offence under section 341 of IPC has been registered against the husband and the brother-in-law. This is the subject matter in criminal application No. 635/07. Whereas an offence under section 498-A has been registered against the husband, father -in-law and the brother-in-law of Mrs. Meena, and this is the subject matter of criminal case No.636/07. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, the complaints are groundless and hence the proceedings be quashed. It is also pointed out that the police, during the enquiry has categorically found that repeated complaints are being filed by Mrs. Meena on account of matrimonial dispute between her and the husband. It is also submitted that other family members are unnecessarily being roped in. At this stage only the averments made in the complaint could be looked into. I am informed that as yet charge has not been framed in any of these cases and thus the application for discharge can be moved. In this view of the matter I am not inclined to interfere at this stage with the proceedings of the criminal cases. Hence criminal applications are summarily rejected. ....
