CRWP-8536 of 2020 -2present petition, which the petitioners have purported to have received from respondent No.4. In the absence of any details, merely a bald statement that petitioners have apprehension that they have threat to their life and liberty at the hands of respondents No.4, cannot be believed. Further, if the averments made in the petition are believed that respondent No.4 is not ready to keep the petitioner No.1 i.e. his legally wedded wife in the matrimonial home, why respondent No.4, will harass petitioner No.1 in case, she is living with petitioner No.2 In fact, the present petition is abuse of process of law and, therefore, the same is dismissed.
