It appears that on past 03 dates, the matter was being got adjourned on one or the other pretext because learned counsel was fully aware about there being no dissolution of marriage between respondent no.2 and petitioner no.1. In the absence of clear status of matrimony of petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2, it would not be apposite to invoke inherent powers and quash the subject FIR. 4. That being so, the present petition is dismissed, granting liberty to the parties to file afresh after getting the marriage between petitioner no.1 and respondent no.2 dissolved by way of decree of divorce.
