3. The petitioner, who is the husband of the Opposite

Party No. 2, is accused, along with four other family members of

torture, assault and demand of dowry.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that it is

the Opposite Party No. 2, who is at fault and does not want to live

with him. It was further submitted that the petitioner had obtained

decree of divorce in Matrimonial Case No. 68 of 2011 dated

26.08.2011, against the Opposite Party No. 2. However, it was

submitted that the same was set aside in Miscellaneous Case No. 3

of 2012 by order dated 18.06.2013 and challenge to the same by

the petitioner in M. A. No. 477 of 2013, was also dismissed,

though after filing of the present case, on 07.07.2015. Learned

counsel submitted that the petitioner along with other family

members have been made accused despite the Opposite Party No.

2 being at fault.

5. Learned A.P.P. for the Opposite Party No. 2,

submitted that the petitioner being the husband is responsible for

the general well being and upkeep of the wife. It was submitted

that there is also a male child out of the wedlock and, thus, it is

obvious that it was not the Opposite Party No. 2, who is

responsible for not living in the matrimonial home and it also

points to the fact that there was torture and demand of dowry,

forcing the Opposite Party No. 2 to move out of the house and

presently she was living with her sister in Delhi along with her

minor son. Learned counsel submitted that the conduct of the

petitioner would show that he is trying to play with the process of

the Court, inasmuch as, while she was living with him at

Darbhanga, showing her address to be somewhere at Patna, notices

were sent and an ex-parte decree of divorce was obtained which

Opposite Party No. 2 has got reversed and which has also been

upheld by the High Court.

6. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the

case and submissions of learned counsel for the Parties, the Court

does not find any merit in the present application.

7. From the materials on record, it is clear that sufficient

material existed before the Court below to have taken cognizance

and at this stage, it cannot be said that the case filed by the

Opposite Party No. 2, is false or frivolous needing any

interference.

8. Accordingly, the application stands dismissed.
