Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court set aside the High Court's order quashing proceedings against Ayub Khan, the husband of the deceased, as he had not sought such relief. The Court found that the High Court had erroneously quashed the proceedings against him despite his lack of grievance. The appeal was dismissed against the other respondents due to insufficient evidence under Section 498A IPC, leading to the conclusion that vague allegations were not enough to sustain charges.
