ORAL ORDER

1 By   this   application   under   Section   482   of   the   Code   of   Criminal 
Procedure,   1973,   the   applicants   –   original   accused   persons   seek   to 
invoke the inherent powers of this Court, praying for quashing of the 
First Information Report being C.R. No.I­19 of 2017 registered with the 
Mahila Police Station, District: Sabarkantha for the offence punishable 
under Sections 498A, 323, 504 and 506(2) read with 114 of the Indian 
Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

2 This   is   a   very   unfortunate   case.   The   marital   life   span   of   the 
husband and wife is almost of twenty five years. In the wedlock, two 
daughters   were   born.   The   elder   daughter   by   name  Tanjim  is   getting 
married with the grace of God on 31st December 2017. It is unfortunate 
that at the time when the elder daughter is getting married, the parents

are fighting with each other. 

3 The First Information Report is very short. It appears that some 
matrimonial disputes have cropped up, and as usual, the wife rushed to 
the police station and lodged an F.I.R. alleging harassment and cruelty. 
Having regard to the fact that the marital life span is of twenty five years 
and two grown up daughters are there, I thought fit to ask the parties to 
remain present before this Court. The applicant No.1 is the husband, the 
applicant No.2 is the father­in­law and the applicant No.3 is the mother­
in­law. The applicant No.1 – husband is personally present in the Court 
today with his elder daughter Tanjim. The respondent No.2 – Sahidaben 
is also present in the Court with her sister Zebabanu. 

4 I   inquired   with   the   applicant   No.1   as   to   the   cause   of   the 
matrimonial dispute. The applicant No.1 submitted that as such there is 
no   dispute.   According   to   him,   it   is   the   nature   of   the   wife   which   is 
creating problems in the marital life and that too after twenty five years 
of the marriage. I inquired with Tanjim as to what is the problem. Even 
according to Tanjim, there is no problem. I inquired with Sahidaben i.e. 
the   respondent   No.2   as   to   what   is   the   problem.   According   to   the 
respondent No.2, the husband is harassing her and has tried to throttle 
her at times. The respondent No.2 wants to go back to her matrimonial 
home and very rightly. She wants some assurance from the husband as 
regards his behaviour and conduct. The husband has assured that there 
would   be   no  any   trouble   or   any   harassment   to   the   wife.   I  requested 
Tanjim  also to see that the differences between the parents is buried. 
Tanjim will be getting married on 31st December 2017 and she will leave 
for   her   matrimonial   home.   Thereafter,   it   is   for   the   younger   sister   of 
Tanjim  namely  Fiza  to   take   of   her   parents   and   see   that   there   is   no 
misunderstanding between the father and mother. The respondent No.2

– Sahidaben will accompany the applicant No.1 and their daughter and 
go back to her matrimonial home today itself. 

5 Mr.   Imran   Pathan,   the   learned   counsel   appearing   for   the 
applicants shall see to it that he files an undertaking in writing on oath 
of the applicant No.1 that there shall not be any unnecessary harassment 
of any nature. Such undertaking shall be filed within  a period of one 
week from today. The Registry shall accept such undertaking. 

6 In view of the amicable settlement arrived at between the parties 
today before this Court, there is no any difficulty in quashing the F.I.R. 

7 A very unusual request is made by the respondent No.2. According 
to her, as she has been pursuing this litigation, she has created a debt. 
She needs to repay the debt before joining the husband. She wants the 
husband to make a payment of a particular amount. Unfortunately, this 
reflects of her corrupt mind. I am sorry to say this in my order. As an 
amicable settlement has been arrived at between the parties, I am not 
saying anything further on the issue of debt, which can be thrashed out 
by finding a viable solution. The respondent No.2 needs to sit with her 
husband, discuss it and find a viable solution. 

8 In   the   result,   this   application   is   allowed.   The   First   Information 
Report   being   C.R.   No.I­19   of   2017   registered   with   the   Mahila   Police 
Station, District: Sabarkantha is hereby quashed. Rule is made absolute. 
Direct service is permitted.
