Delhi High Court:\u00a0<\/strong>Sanjeev Sachdeva, J. dismissed a petition filed against the judgment of Revisional Court whereby petitioner’s \/ complainant’s in-laws were discharged of the offences under \u00a0Sections 498-A and 34 IPC.<\/p>\n

In 2013, petitioner had filed an FIR against her husband and in-laws alleging harassment. It was alleged that her husband used to come late and beat the petitioner and when she complained to her in-laws, they behaved in the same manner. She was thrown out of the matrimonial house and was threatened not to enter again.<\/p>\n

Anuj Kr Ranjan, Advocate for the petitioner submitted that there was sufficient material on record to substantiate framing of charge under Section 498-A. Per contra, Kishan N. Rana, Advocate for in-laws submitted that allegations against them were bald and even the investigation did not ravel any incriminating material.<\/p>\n

After perusing the FIR, it was noted by the High Court that\u00a0“in one breath, the petitioner named all the family members without specific role ascribed to any one of them.”<\/strong>Though instances were mentioned vis-a-vis her mother-in-law and brother of father-in-law, however, no specifics about date, time or place were given. Omnibus allegations were made which according to the Court did not justify framing a charge under Section 498-A as\u00a0“for a change to be framed, the evidence gathered by the prosecution should not only give rise to suspicion but there should be grave suspicion that the accused have committed the offence.”\u00a0<\/strong>Consequently, the petition was dismissed. It may be noted that in the present case, a charge was framed against the husband who was facing trial. [Anju v. State (NCT of Delhi), 2019 SCC OnLine Del 6865<\/b><\/a>, dated 04-02-2019]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
