R/CR.MA/16184/2015 ORDER

According to the allegations levelled in the FIR, the
respondent no.2, after getting married to one Parth
Bakulchandra Pandya on 9th October 2014, started residing at
her matrimonial home along with her in-laws. It is alleged that
within 4 to 5 days from the date of the marriage, the mother-
in-law started treating the respondent no.2 cruelly. The
allegations against the applicants are that of instigating the
husband and the in-laws. I have gone through the entire FIR,
which is at page-19. In the entire FIR, except the allegations of
instigation, nothing else has been attributed to the applicants
herein. The allegations in the FIR against the applicants are
quite vague, and even if they are accepted to be true, they do
not constitute any offence of cruelty within the meaning of
Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code.

In such circumstances, this application succeeds and is
allowed. The FIR bearing CR-I No.71 of 2015 registered at the
Jamnagar Mahila Police Station, District Jamnagar, is hereby
quashed so far as the applicants herein are concerned. Rule
made absolute. Direct service is permitted.
