The High Court allowed a writ petition filed by a complainant seeking to quash her own criminal complaint lodged under sections 498A, 406, and 34 of the IPC. Relying on B.S. Joshi vs. State of Haryana, the Court quashed the complaint as the petitioner had no objection.
The complaint was quashed and the writ petition was disposed of.
