Five applicants, including the husband (applicant no. 1), his parents (aged ~68), and two brothers-in-law, filed a Section 482 CrPC application before the Allahabad High Court (Lucknow Bench) seeking to quash a cognizance and summoning order dated 01.05.2024 passed by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Balrampur, in a complaint case under Sections 498-A, 323, 504, 506 IPC and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. The complaint, filed by the wife (opposite party no. 2) on 13.11.2019, alleged demand of additional dowry of Rs. 10 lakh, but the applicants argued that the statements under Sections 200 and 202 CrPC contained only general and omnibus allegations against the in-laws with no specific role attributed to each of them. The court noted the settled Supreme Court position—drawn from Geeta Mehrotra (2012), Kahkashan Kausar (2022), Kailashben Mahendrabhai Patel (2024), and Belide Swagath Kumar (2025)—that relatives of the husband should not be subjected to trial on the basis of vague, omnibus allegations without specific instances of their involvement. The application as regards applicant no. 1 (husband) was rejected as not pressed at the outset; the judgment text as provided addresses the merits concerning applicant nos. 2–5 (in-laws and brothers-in-law) by extensively analysing the applicable Supreme Court precedents on quashing in matrimonial disputes.
