BENGALURU: Karnataka high court has observed that mere assertion that in-laws “instigated” the husband or used abusive language, without any specific instance of such misdemeanour, cannot form the foundation for criminal prosecution. Quashing the proceedings against one Abeda, her husband Mohammad Runkuddin Jumna, and five others, Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum noted that if the court declines to exercise its inherent jurisdiction, then the petitioners “would be unnecessarily subjected to the rigmarole of criminal prosecution”.Under the circumstances, continuation of proceedings against the petitioners would amount to abuse of the process of law, Justice Magadum observed. The couple, residents of Kalaburagi city, along with their family members, had challenged FIR registered by women’s police station and pending proceedings before local court, based on a complaint filed by Tehseen Begum, their daughter-in-law.

Anand Handa The petitioners stated Tehseen had acknowledged in her written complaint dated July 22, 2023, that she lived separately, with her husband Nooruddin Jumna. “All allegations pertaining to neglect, marital discord, & harassment are specifically directed only at Nooruddin. There are absolutely no individual or specific allegations against any of us.” Justice Magadum noted, “The complainant explicitly acknowledges there was a family partition, pursuant to which, a separate residential portion comprising three rooms was allotted. This itself indicates that the petitioners lived separately and did not share the common household with the complainant.” He added, “The complaint repeatedly refers to the prolonged stays of Nooruddin in Gulf region, which appears to be the primary reason for marital discord. The allegations against the petitioners are, therefore, unsubstantiated, lacking any particulars of date, time, place, or specific acts.”End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos”No Control Over Minority Violence In Bangladesh…”: Former Indian Envoy Slams Yunus Govt“Infamous For His Tour With Anti-National Propaganda”: BJP Rips Rahul Gandhi Over Vietnam VisitInqilab Moncho To March Nationwide Seeking Justice For Sharif Osman Hadi14 Naxals Neutralized In Sukma And Bijapur As Security Forces Launch Anti-Maoist OperationHimachal College Horror: Student Dies After Alleging Sexual Harassment, RaggingIndia Reveals First Vande Bharat Sleeper Offering Faster Overnight Travel On Kolkata-Guwahati LineHindu Businessman Khokon Das, Hacked And Set Ablaze By Mob in Bangladesh, Dies 3 Days After Attack‘Slavery Destroys Heritage’: PM Modi’s Big Message After Unveiling Sacred Buddha Piprahwa RelicsBCCI Asks KKR To Release Bangladesh Player From IPL After Outrage Over Attacks On Hindu MinoritiesGovt Sends Notice To Elon Musk’s X On Grok AI Chatbot Misuse, IT Ministry Seeks Action Report123PhotostoriesDiabetes: Subtle symptoms people ignore because they don’t look seriousStep-by-step guide for growing blueberries at home or balcony gardenHow to make protein-rich Rajma and Soya Kebab for snackingTop 9 cabbage dishes from around the world5 health facts about the world’s number one longevity food5 most photographed natural monuments in the world to explore in 20265 best Indian forests to see wild Asian elephants in JanuaryKrystle D’Souza’s roles that defined her TV career: ‘Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai’ to ‘Belan Wali Bahu’:TV celebrities’ cutest baby name choices: From Bharti Singh-Harsh Limbachiyaa’s Gola to Nakuul Mehta-Jankee Parekh’s Sufi and Rumi8 short and engaging books you can read in a single day123Hot PicksOperation SindoorVande Bharat Sleeper TrainJanuary Bank holidayGold rate todayIncome Tax RefundBahrain Golden Visa 2025Bank Holidays DecemberTop TrendingSan Francisco 49ersBrittany MahomesNoah Lyles and Junelle Bromfield Net WorthWayne Gretzky Daughter Net WorthSidney Crosby LifestyleLeBron James vs Stephen Curry Net WorthTom BradyLeBron James WifeCam ThomasCharlie Kirk
