Supreme Court quashed criminal proceedings against a woman’s parents-in-law in a dowry harassment case, holding that vague and identical allegations were insufficient. The Court said that merely quarrelling with a daughter-in-law does not amount to cruelty or dowry harassment under Section 498A IPC.
