Section 498A IPC | Omnibus Allegations Quashed as Mala Fide Counterblast to Senior Citizens Act Eviction Order : Calcutta HC
The Calcutta High Court quashed a Section 498A complaint against parents-in-law, ruling it was a mala fide counterblast to an eviction order passed under the Senior Citizens Act. The court held that omnibus allegations lacking specific dates or overt acts constitute an abuse of process, shielding elderly litigants from retaliatory criminal proceedings.
