Metropolitan Magistrate Shivani Chauhan dismissed the complaint of the woman, a south resident, saying that she had falsified and concocted various allegations and suppressed important facts in order to harass her in-laws.
It, however, noted that "the testimony of the complainant (woman) throws light on the conduct of the complainant and the extent, to which she has falsified and concocted various allegations and has suppressed important facts in order to harass the respondents (husband and parents-in-laws) and had misused the PWDV Act as a tool to extort unjustified money from respondent no 1 (husband) for unjustified personal gain."
"It is a fit case which calls for imposition of exemplary cost on complainant, so that like minded people are dissuaded from resorting to such mala fide practices," the court said, while dismissing the woman's complaint with a cost of Rs one lakh, to be deposited in the account of Blind Relief Association.
After the marriage, however, the differences between the couple grew and she was harassed physically and verbally by her husband while her in-laws turned a blind eye towards the issue, the complaint said.
