This Crl.P. is filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. with a prayer to quash the FIR in Cr. No. 78/2015 registered by 1st respondent Police and etc.
This Crl.P. coming on for Admission this day, the Court passed the following;
O R D E R Petitioners have sought to quash the registration of FIR in Crime No. 78/2015 registered for the offences punishable under Section 506, 504, 380, 420 read with Section 34 IPC.
2. Learned Senior counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the complainant/respondent No.
2 claims that he was in living-in-relationship with the accused No. 2/petitioner No. 2. It is only when petitioner No.2 refused to marry petitioner No. 2, the complaint in question has been lodged to compel petitioner No. 2 to agree to the unlawful terms of respondent No. 2.
3. Notwithstanding the said contention, the allegations made in the complaint are that the petitioners have committed theft of cash of Rs.20,000/- and ornaments of the value of Rs.30.00 lakhs. These allegations, in my view, are required to be investigated. Hence, I do not find any justifiable reason to quash the proceedings. All the contentions urged by the petitioners are kept open. The Investigating Officer shall consider the said contention while forming an opinion on the basis of the material collected by him during the course of investigation. With the said observation, the petition is dismissed.
Sd/- JUDGE.
