% 01.07.2026 CRL.M.A. 18293/2026 (Exemption) Exemption allowed, subject to all just exceptions. CRL.M.C. 4432/2026 & CRL.M.A. 18294/2026 (seeking stay of the criminal proceedings) 1.

Petitioners are parents-in-law of respondent No.2. 2.

The marriage in question took place on 15.04.2018. 3.

According to petitioners, there is no criminality attributed on their part and neither did they commit any cruelty nor was there any entrustment of any dowry articles to them. It is contended that it was purely a dispute related to compatibility between a husband and wife and even a prima-facie reading of the allegations would not indicate revelation of any offence committed by them.

4.

However, when asked, learned counsel for petitioner, in all fairness, submitted that the charges have yet not been ascertained and the next date before the learned Trial Court is 31.08.2026. 5.

After hearing arguments for some times, learned counsel for the petitioner, without prejudice to his rights and contentions, does not press the present petition with liberty to agitate all the issues raised in the present petition before the learned Trial Court at the time of consideration of charge. In addition to the above, he also submits that the petitioners are also willing to find out an amicable solution of the matter and, if the complainant is also willing, the matter can be referred to mediation. 6.

Needless to say the possibility of an amicable settlement can always be explored by the parties, once the learned Trial Court assesses the willingness of the complainant.

7.

In view of the above, the present petition is disposed of, as not pressed. 8.

All rights and contentions of the parties are reserved. 9.

Petitioners would be at liberty to move appropriate application before the learned Trial Court seeking their exemption from personal appearance on the ground of age and their health condition and it will be entirely upto the learned Trial Court to consider the application and dispose of the same in accordance with law.
