The petitioner, Jayesh Chimanbhai Solanki, challenged an FIR registered on 24 August 2019 at Mahila Police Station, Surat, under Sections 498A, 323, 504, and 114 IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, filed by his wife alleging cruelty, dowry demands (a car), and physical assault by the husband and his family members from six months after their May 2012 marriage. The complainant had left the matrimonial home around October 2015, and the FIR was lodged approximately four years later, shortly after the husband obtained a favourable visitation order under the Guardians and Wards Act in a custody dispute concerning their daughter. The Gujarat High Court, applying the seven-category test from Bhajan Lal and principles from Preeti Gupta and Kahkashan Kausar, found the allegations to be vague, omnibus, and lacking specific particulars as to when, where, or how the alleged acts occurred. The Court concluded that the FIR was a counterblast and pressure tactic filed in the context of the custody litigation, and that no prima facie case was made out against the petitioner or the family members. Accordingly, the Court quashed the FIR under Section 482 CrPC.
