It has been alleged in the F.I.R. that the in 2003 the husband of the informant had gone to Mumbai in search of job along with the petitioner but has not returned since then. About 10 years ago when the petitioner had come home, she had asked him about whereabouts of her husband whereupon he had informed that he was working in Mumbai and would bring him next time he visits the village, however, he did not do so and returned to the village on 15th December, 2023 to get his house constructed. The allegation is that whenever she asks the petitioner about whereabouts of her husband, he does not respond appropriately. The contention is that no offence is made out against the petitioner.

The informant has unnecessarily filed the F.I.R. against the petitioner that too after delay of 20 years.
