Mumbai, Jan. 28 -- The Bombay High Court on Wednesday refused to quash a dowry harassment case filed against US-based Ajay Pardeshi and his family in Navi Mumbai.
"We cannot quash this FIR; this is not a fit case for quashing and a charge sheet too has been filed against you (accused)," the court observed. According to an application filed by the Pardeshis, Ajay and Jaya, a Mulund resident, married on October 25, 2007.
After the marriage, Ajay returned to the USA. He claimed he filed a visa application for Jaya. Jaya alleged Ajay never started any process to take her to the USA and instead had entered in to a second marriage there.
In May 2008, Jaya lodged an FIR at Navghar police station, alleging that her in-laws were harassing her for dowry.

Anti-dowry law makes it wife-biased, discriminatory,and poorly formulated. A complaint from your wife or her family member can land husband and his entire family in jail without any investigation. "The power of the Executive to cast a man into prison without formulating any charge known to the law, and particularly to deny him the judgment of his peers, is in the highest degree odious and is the foundation of all totalitarian government whether Nazi or Communist." - Winston Churchill
