Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.36192 of 2014 dt.09-10-2017
2/2
The marriage of opposite party no. 2 took place on 14.05.2002 with
the son of these petitioners. It has been alleged that immediately after
marriage, her husband and in-laws started torturing. In the statement
of complainant on solemn affirmation, I find that the Father and Uncle
of opposite party no. 2 went at the place of these petitioners in order
to settle the dispute but in vain. The petitioner no. 2 has retired from
Military Service and is residing at mohalla Danapur fromwhere the
opposite party no. 2 was ousted by these petitioners. The learned
Magistrate after going through the material on record, found sufficient
materials against these petitioners for their prosecution under section
498A of the Indian Penal Code. The husband of complainant (O.P.
No. 2) has not appeared before the Court below, although, as
submitted, he is in service. It has been submitted that these petitioners
have suppressed about his whereabouts and in order to save their son
from the criminal prosecution.
4. In view of above discussion, I do not find any merit in
this criminal miscellaneous application. This application is
accordingly, dismissed.
