Kailash Chandra Agrawal & Anr vs State Of U.P.& Ors

The Supreme Court held that the appellants could not be summoned under Section 406 IPC and Section 6 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, as they were not named in the FIR and no specific allegations were made against them in the subsequent complaint. The Court emphasized that distant relatives should not be implicated in dowry cases without tangible evidence, referencing the principle established in Kans Raj vs. State of Punjab. The Court quashed the High Court's order, thereby allowing the appeal and staying further proceedings against the appellants.
