The Bombay High Court quashed an FIR and charge-sheet against a husband and seven relatives in a matrimonial cruelty case. The court noted a rise in implicating all family members in matrimonial disputes, observing that allegations against the in-laws were vague and lacked specific details. The bench highlighted that the wife reported a happy married life for years and that dowry demands were raised significantly after marriage and the birth of a child, making the accusations against relatives living separately inherently doubtful.
