consequential proceedings pursuant to the aforesaid

R/SCR.A/5126/2015 ORDER

Thus, it appears that this application was not pressed at
the relevant point of time so far as the applicant nos.1 and 2
are concerned, i.e. the husband and the mother-in-law
respectively.

I am called upon to look into the case of the applicant
no.3. The applicant no.3 happens to be the maternal uncle of
the husband. Indisputably, in the first information report, the
applicant no.3 has not even been named as an accused. There
is no whisper of any allegation against him. It is only in the
further statement of the first informant recorded on 18th May
2015 that some allegations of harassment came to be levelled
against the applicant no.3. The applicant no.3 is a 70 year old
man and as such has nothing to do with the matrimonial
dispute between the husband and the wife.

I see no good reason to continue the prosecution for the
offence under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code so far as
the applicant no.3 is concerned.

In the result, this application succeeds so far as the
applicant no.3 is concerned. The further proceedings of the
Criminal Case No.4748 of 2015 pending in the court of the
learned JMFC, Rajkot, arising from the FIR being C.R. No.II-72 of
2015 registered at the Mahila Police Statio, Rajkot, is hereby
quashed so far as the applicant no.3, namely Dr.Anwar Hussain
Salehbhai Hirani is concerned.

Rule is made absolute. The trial shall now proceed further in
accordance with law expeditiously so far as the applicant nos.1 and 2
are concerned. Direct service is permitted.
