The Supreme Court has held that the prosecution of a husband
and his family members under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Sections
3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act was not sustainable when the complaint is
filed by the wife long after their divorce. The court said that the complainant
approached with a case that there had been a divorce four years before the
filing of the FIR, Section 498A IPC would not be attracted. The court consider
it appropriate to quash the prosecution against all the accused.
