submits that no cruelty or demand of dowry was ever meted out on the complainant or her family members.

5.

It is observed that the FIR was registered recently on 19.12.2024 and the investigation is at a nascent stage. From the perusal of contents of the FIR, it cannot be said that allegation in regard to commission of cognizable offence has not been made. 6.

The learned counsel for the petitioners seeks to rely on various documents in support of his contention. 7.

The same is in the nature of defence would at first instance will be looked into by the police during the course of the investigation, whereafter appropriate report will be filed. 8.

The Court exercising power under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, is not required to consider disputed questions of facts which can only be considered after the detailed investigation has been carried out. The investigation cannot be nipped in the bud only because the petitioners apprehend harassment.

9.

In view of the above, this Court does not consider it apposite to entertain the present petition at this stage. 10.

The petition is, therefore, dismissed.

11.

Needless to say, the petitioners are at liberty to seek appropriate remedy in case of any grievance in future. 12.

Pending application also stands disposed of.
