Husband’s Girlfriend or concubine not a “relative” under S. 498-A RPC; J&K and Ladakh HC quashes FIR
“The husband’s girlfriend was neither related to him by blood, marriage or adoption, nor was she residing in the matrimonial home or subjected the wife to harassment or intimidation. The continuation of the criminal proceedings in the case would amount to abuse of the process of law and defeat the ends of justice.”
