The woman who filed the FIR was married in 2001

The woman who filed the FIR was married in 2001 and marital discords led
to “multiple proceedings’’ and the FIR lodged last October with the Juhu
police in which she said her parents had incurred expenses worth Rs 7 crore
for her marriage and also Rs 15 lakh on the honeymoon. The trio said the
allegations were “false, baseless and vague’’. Jha argued that the case was
yet another manifestation of clear abuse of section 498A, IPC. While,
government lawyer Sangita Shinde and Satyavrat Joshi appearing for the
housewife who lodged the FIR, opposed the quashing plea with Joshi saying
that the “tenor of the FIR as a whole ought to be considered’’ and that there
were “specific allegations which implicate the petitioners.’’
