Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court allowed the appeal and quashed the complaint filed by respondent No.2 against the appellants under Sections 498A, 323, 504, 506 IPC and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, holding that there was no prima facie case against the appellants. The Court found that the allegations in the complaint did not justify proceeding against the appellants either jointly or severally. The Court clarified that the complaint against the husband, Mohammad Pervez, would be decided on its merits by the concerned Magistrate without influence from this judgment.
