The applicants (Nos. 2 to 5), being the mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and daughters of the co-accused, filed a petition under Section 482 CrPC before the Gujarat High Court seeking to quash FIR No. 11206023210815 dated 04.08.2021 registered at Kheralu Police Station for offences under Sections 498A, 504, and 114 IPC and Sections 4 and 5 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The allegations against these applicants were limited to taunting the complainant (respondent No. 2) about bringing meagre dowry and general quarrelling, with no specific overt acts attributed to them individually. The court noted that the de facto complainant chose not to appear despite notice, and referred to the Supreme Court's guidelines in State of Haryana v. Bhajan Lal (AIR 1992 SC 604) on when Section 482 CrPC jurisdiction may be exercised, as well as observations in Preeti Gupta v. State of Jharkhand regarding the misuse of Section 498A IPC complaints. The judgment text as provided is incomplete, but the court was examining whether the vague and general allegations against the applicants warranted quashing of the FIR.
