    Case Summary: 71/2026 — Priyadharshini v. Gowsikan Decision: The court allowed the petition and directed police to conduct a preliminary investigation into allegations of dowry harassment within one month. If sufficient grounds exist, a First Information Report must be filed against the respondents; otherwise, the case shall be closed. Key Reasoning: The court found credible allegations that the petitioner was subjected to cruelty and dowry demands by her husband (Gowsikan) and his relatives after their June 8, 2025 marriage. Police had previously closed the complaint without proper investigation, prompting this judicial intervention. The court noted that while matrimonial matters require sensitivity, the specific allegations of dowry coercion and conjugal abandonment warrant police scrutiny under the Dowry Prohibition Act and relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.
