3. Husband challenged and filed Quashing Petition in Karnataka High Court.
4. The Karnataka High Court Quashed the FIR on below mentioned ground.

Grounds

reading of the complaint in general as contended by the learnt counsel for the petitioners, it could be gathered that it appears to be a case of normal wear and Tear as is experience in any marital life. Apparently even as per the complainant no life threatening or any injury.

No allegations of dowry demand.

lastly as contended by the learnt counsel for the petitioner the instant complaint is nothing but a counterblast to the divorce case instituted by third petitioner before the superior family court at Los Angels. It is a matter of Record that respondent had been served during her stay in the US at her aunt place, who immediately on arrival to India has proceeded to lodge a police complaint and certainly it could be termed as nothing else but counterblast.
