JUDGEMENT

(1.) Leave granted.

(2.) The appellant filed a complaint on 02.08.2004 alleging harassment by the respondents. FIR was registered against the respondents under Sections 498A, 406, 504 and 506 of IPC. The matter was settled between the appellant and respondents pursuant to which the respondents were acquitted by an order dated 19.06.2007.

(3.) Yet another complaint was filed by the appellant on 23.10.2007 alleging that after the settlement, she joined respondent No.4, but the torture for demand of dowry did not stop and the harassment continued.
