I found merit in the arguments of learned counsel for the applicants, Sri Krishna Pratap Yadav that even the statement of complainant made general and omnibus allegations against all accused persons. Though, it has been mentioned that every accused has assaulted him, but since there is no injury report, therefore, nature of assault not being corroborated. As such, the offence under Section 323 I.P.C. is not made out.

¶23

The above submission also got support from the statement of witness recorded under Section 202 Cr.P.C., who has exaggerated alleged occurrence by stating that applicants have committed offence of theft also, which is absolutely not corroborated by complaint or statement of complainant. For reference the statements recorded under Sections 200 and 202 Cr.P.C. are reproduced herein after:-

In the aforesaid circumstances, I further find merit in arguments of learned counsel for applicants that ingredient of Section 504 I.P.C. are also not made out. The complainant or witnesses in their statements have not stated that there was an intention to insult complainant, to extent that he may commit breach of peace. In this regard, Court takes note of a judgment passed by Supreme Court in the Case of Mohammad Wajid vs. State of U.P. 2023 INSC 683.

¶46

The Court also takes note that in matrimonial disputes, it become a pattern to file false complaint though normally it is from side of wife, but present is a case, where husband has lodged false complaint. The Court also takes note that complainant's wife has also filed criminal complaint on matrimonial disputes.

¶47

In the aforesaid circumstances, impugned order does not survive, since there are multiple legal infirmities. However, considering that this order is passed even without issuing notice to opposite party no. 2, therefore, matter is remitted back to learned Trial Court to pass afresh order after hearing complainant within a

¶48

period of three months taking note of above referred observations and judgment.

¶49

Accordingly, this application is disposed of.
