Justice P S Dinesh Kumar who was hearing the case quashed the criminal proceedings pending against the petitioner, Faisal Ahmed Khan, a resident of Hunsur in Mysuru district and imposed a fine of Rs 25,000 on Nazia Asma, a resident of Lashkar Mohalla in Mysuru.

The court further said, “The complaint is full of unbelievable and self-contradicting allegations. All allegations in the complaint are omnibus in nature. Neither the prosecution nor the complainant has placed any other material which may suggest the commission of any of the alleged criminal act/s by the petitioner. Therefore, it can be safely concluded that allegations against the petitioner are designed to harass him.”

She had alleged that Khan and his family had demanded Rs 3 lakh and additional money to purchase a car.
