Penal Code, 1860–Secs. 498-A, 323/34, 379/34 & 504–Dowry Prohibition Act, 1963–Sec. 4–Cognizance for the offence–Justification–Earlier, the complainant had lodged the complaint for the same offence–In spite of this fact, she went to the house of in laws and stayed there alone does not seem plausible– Legal notices had been exchanged between the parties-petitioner had already been presented the petition for divorce–It seems that the complainant was desining the events so as to create evidence for somehow or the other for entangling the accused in multiple criminal cases–Allegations are also not of such nature so as to invoke the offence u/ss. 498-A, 323/34, 379/34 & 504–Order of taking cognizance deserves to be quashed.
