It is alleged by the petitioner that respondent No.5 and his family members were not happy with the dowry, on account of which, they were harassing the daughter of petitioner; and ultimately, case FIR No.174 dated 12.04.2022 was got registered at Police Station City Mandi Dabwali, District Sirsa, by the petitioner against respondent No.5 and his family members.

2.2 It is borne out from the paper book that as regards respondent No.5 (Parsahant Gupta), Look Out Circular has already been issued on 21.10.2022, however, his other family members have already been granted anticipatory bail by the Court(s) below, vide separate orders dated 13.05.2022 (Annexure P-4) and 19.11.2022 (Annexure P-3). 2.3 Petitioner claims that despite lodging of FIR No.174 dated 12.04.2022, respondent No.5 is living abroad and has not joined the proceedings in the said case. Accordingly, it is prayed that passport of respondent No.5 be cancelled.
