JUSTICE SANJEEV KUMAR SHARMA ORDER Date : 03.11.2025 Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the respondent. The scanned copy of the TCR has been received and perused the same. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the present criminal proceeding has been instituted as a counter blast to the divorce suit filed by the husband of the respondent. The present petitioners are the family members of the husband. It is pointed out that the husband of the respondent had executed a divorce proceeding on 07.02.2022 and the complaint has been lodged on 18.09.2022 against the husband as well as the present petitioners. Also perused the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Kamal and others vs. State of Gujarat and another (2025 40 INSC 504), wherein it has been held that when one party initiates a complaint after divorce proceeding has been initiated against the other, the Court must be circumspect in taking the allegations at their face value. Having regard to the above, further proceeding in GR Case No. 915/2022, arising out of Lala PS Case No. 276/2022, pending in the Court of JMFC, Hailakandi, shall remain stayed until further orders. I.A. is accordingly disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
