ORDER
The petitioner who is arrayed as Accused No.2 has come forward with this petition for quashing the FIR in Crime No.2 of 2016 for the offences punishable under Sections 498(A), 506(ii) and 494 of IPC which was registered on 08.02.2016 stating that she is alleged to be the second wife of the husband of the defacto complainant but nothing has been mentioned against her. 2.Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the first respondent.
3.On perusal of the FIR, it is seen that in the complaint the name of the petitioner has been stated and she is alleged to be the second wife of the husband of the de-facto complainant. So, the case has been registered under Section 494 of IPC. But https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
the case has been registered only on 08.03.2016. In such circumstances, I am of the view that it is too pre-mature to quash the FIR in Crime No.2 of 2016. Hence, this petition deserves to be dismissed.
4.In the result, the Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition is closed.
