Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the dismissal of the application under Section 482 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, for quashing FIR No. 339 of 2018, which alleged offences under Sections 498-A, 312, 313, and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. The Court found that the appellants, being the parents-in-law, had an active role in the alleged physical and mental cruelty and forced abortion. The Court held that the High Court's decision to dismiss the quashing application was justified, as the allegations warranted further investigation.
