JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) Though accused of such a serious offence as rape
is, the petitioner still claims himself to be law abiding citizen
and pleads his false implication to seek quashing of FIR
registered against him under Sections 376, 328 and 506 IPC.
This FIR was registered against the petitioner on
18.2.2010. The facts, as pleaded, would show that the
complainant has lodged this complaint in regard to an
incident, which is five years old. The petitioner claims this to
be an outcome of jealousy and just to harass the petitioner
as he has immigrated from India.
(2.) The allegations as made in the FIR registered on
an application made to S.S.P., Karnal, by respondent
Bhupinder Kaur reveals that the complainant had come to
the house of her Aunt-in-law (husband's Mousi) at Village
Alipur. The petitioner was the neighbour of said Aunt-in-law.
The petitioner allegedly had a bad eye on the complainant
and so she returned to Shahbad. One day, she had gone to
Mahabir Dal Hospital, Karnal, for some medical problem,
when the petitioner met her enroute by chance and took her
to Sudarshan Hospital, where he offered a cold drink to the
complainant. After taking this, she lost her consciousness
and later learnt that she was raped. Thereafter, the
petitioner threatened the complainant to kill, besides telling
her that he had filmed her nude and if she complained, then
he would send the film to her parents. The petitioner also
allegedly promised to marry the complainant and undertook
to take care of her children. Because of fear, the
complainant appears to have succumbed to the wishes of
the petitioner and now has filed this complaint, leading to
registration of FIR.
(3.) The petitioner otherwise apparently has not
disputed his relationship with the complainant. The
petitioner rather claims that he was having love affair with
the complainant and she has now complained because the
petitioner has settled in Malaysia. The petitioner would also
submit that the complainant is 32 years old lady and
married for 12 years and, thus, he could not have
blackmailed her. The petitioner still is a bachelor. In this
background, the petitioner pleads that the allegations in the
FIR are fake, frivolous, contradictory and are based on
imagination just to blackmail him. The petitioner pleads that
prosecution can not be initiated on such imaginary
complaints and so has filed this petition for quashing of the
said FIR.;
