She has also lost a criminal case filed against her husband and in-laws under Section 498A of IPC, which she had lodged falsely by making frivolous allegations. The said criminal case was quashed by this Hon’ble Court in a Revisional application being CRR No. 2155 of 2022 vide order dated 11th September, 2025. If the petitioner is not allowed to contest the proceedings, he will suffer injury that cannot be compensated in any manner.

In the above backdrop and submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, this Court prefers to dispose of this application with a direction that the petitioner may be allowed to contest the proceedings pending before the learned trial court under Section 144 of the BNSS, 2023, if the case has not already been disposed of.
