It is submitted that the petitioner no.1 is the elder brother of the husband
of the opposite party no.2 and the petitioner no.2 is the wife of the petitioner
no.1. The petitioner no.1 is currently serving as Chief Judicial Magistrate at
Baduan and is staying separately from his parental home with his wife for past
25 years and it is not possible for them to use any kind of force or any coercive
action against the opposite party no.2. The petitioner no.3 is the younger brother
of the husband of the opposite party no.2 and the petitioner no.4 is the wife of
the petitioner no.3. The petitioner no.3 and 4 got married in the year of 2007 and

pointed out that the petitioners name has been dragged unnecessarily with the
vague and untrue false allegations levelled by the opposite party no.4 in her FIR
dated 4th February, 2019 and that FIR under Sections 498A/Section315 has been lodged
after a matrimonial suit was filed by the husband of the opposite party no.2 and
the whole of the FIR story is false and concocted.
Having heard learned counsel for the petitioners and in consideration of
the facts scenario, let there be an interim order of stay of proceeding in G.R. case
No.40 of 2019 for a period of six weeks with direction to serve copy of the
application along with annexures to the opposite party no.2 by speed post with
a/d and the opposite party State through the learned Public Prosecutor within a
period of three weeks and to file affidavit of service on the next date of hearing.
List the matter under the heading “Contested Application” after expiry of
six weeks.
