Instant petition has been preferred under Section 482

registered at Police Station Bhusawar District Bharatpur for

offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 406, 323, 341 and

354 I.P.C.

Complainant/respondent No.2 – Sunita Meena on

13.07.2016, as per Hindu Customs Rites was married with

Pradeep Kumar son of Rajaram. The petitioner is a maternal

uncle of Pradeep Kumar, husband of complainant.

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has

submitted that the petitioner has involved as many as twenty-

two persons of the family of the husband as accused.

(2 of 2) [CRLMP-6539/2018]

The learned counsel appearing for the complainant/

respondent No.2, has submitted that general, omnibus and

vague allegations have been levelled against all members of the

family.

Counsel appearing for the petitioner has relied upon

the case of Preeti Gupta and Another Vs. State of Jharkhand and

Another, reported in A.I.R. 2010 Supreme Court 3363, to

contend that the provisions of Sections 406 and 498-A I.P.C.

have been misused and unnecessarily all family members have

been involved in the matrimonial offences, who have nothing to

gain from the alleged demand of dowry.

The learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the State,

after going through the impugned F.I.R. has very fairly

submitted that there is no specific allegation against the

petitioner pertaining to offence punishable under Section 354

I.P.c.

Taking into account the submissions made above by

ld. counsel for the petitioner, relationship of the petitioner, who

is maternal uncle of the husband of the complainant, along with

the fact that the complainant has involved twenty-two person as

accused, the present petition is accepted and the impugned

F.I.R., qua the petitioner only is quashed.
