“There were not specific particulars regarding time, place and manner of any beating, cruelty or harassment as well as demand of dowry and in these circumstances it cannot be said that ingredients of the offence under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code were spelled out”

PARA 6 :- The threat was not imminent and since no one was harmed nor any intent to harm was alleged, the ingredients of the offence were missing and no prima facie case was made out. Under these circumstances no useful purpose will be served if the proceedings are allowed to continue before the Trial Court qua the petitioners as the inherent informity regarding the vagueness of the allegations in the First Information Report is not curable at any subsequent stage Suresh Kumar and Ors., v. State of Haryana, 1989 (2) Recent Criminal Reports 73 is an authority on this point.
