The applicants, relatives of the husband, sought to quash a complaint under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005, alleging domestic violence by them. The court found the allegations to be general and omnibus, and not specific to the applicants. The court observed that it has become a tendency to implicate all family members in matrimonial disputes with sweeping allegations. The court allowed the application, quashing the complaint against the applicants. The court held that the proceedings against the applicants amounted to an abuse of the process of law.
