Distant relatives having no ‘domestic relationship’ roped to cause harassment and build pressure on husband; Bombay High Court invokes S. 482 CrPC to quash DV proceedings
The power of the High Court under Section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code is of the widest amplitude, which can be exercised to secure ends of justice, unless barred by specific provision or by implication. Such power can be exercised to prevent unwanted harassment caused to a respondent with the application of rigour of the Criminal Procedure Code.
