The petitioners — the father-in-law, mother-in-law, husband, and brother-in-law of respondent No. 4 (wife Shivani Tiwari) — filed a petition before the Chhattisgarh High Court seeking to quash a chargesheet filed against them for offences under Sections 85 and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, arising out of allegations of dowry harassment and cruelty made by the wife after she left the matrimonial home in October 2025. The petitioners contended that the allegations were vague, omnibus, and without specific particulars attributing individual acts to each accused, and that the prosecution was an outcome of a matrimonial dispute coloured as dowry harassment. The Court had earlier referred the matter to the Mediation Centre, but mediation failed as per a report dated 11.08.2026, though the wife had received Rs. 50,000 during the proceedings. The judgment as reproduced does not record a final disposal or definitive ruling on the merits of the quashing petition, as the text appears to end mid-argument.
