ORDER
28-02-2025
The petitioners have challenged FIR No. 03/2025 for commission of offences under Sections 85/133, 351 BNS and Section 4 of the Dowry Protection Act, registered with Police Station, Pahalgam, Anantnag.
Learned counsel..appearing for the petitioners has submitted that the allegations made in the impugned FIR to the extent of the petitioners are vague, lacking in material particulars and that the impugned FIR has been lodged by the complainant-respondent No.4, with a view to wreck vengeance upon the petitioners.
Issue notice to the respondents subject to the petitioners taking necessary steps for effecting service upon the respondents within a week’s time. So far as the contention of the petitioners that the allegations against petitioner Nos. 2 to 8 are vague, is concerned, the same appears to be prima facie correct, but it does appear that there are specific allegations against petitioner No.1 in the impugned FIR.
In view of the above, it is provided that the investigation in the FIR may go on. However, in case respondent No.3 intends to file the challan against petitioner Nos. 2 to 8, the same shall not be done without the prior permission of this Court.
Be listed on 18.04.2025.
