Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Punjab & Haryana High Court's dismissal of the appellants' petition to quash criminal proceedings under Sections 406 and 498A IPC. The Court found that the complaint contained sufficient material to proceed against the appellants, despite their arguments regarding the vagueness of the allegations and the long duration since the marriage. The Court noted that the complaint primarily targeted the husband, Rajesh, but also included references to the appellants, justifying the continuation of proceedings against them.
