"Wherefore, the Hon'ble Court is respectfully prayed to quash all further proceedings against the petitioner in C.C.No.131/2024 pending on the file of II Addl.

2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and

the learned High Court Government Pleader for the

respondent No.1 - State.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would

submit that the petitioner is innocent of the alleged

offences and he has been falsely implicated by the

respondent No.1-Raghavendra Nagar P.S. Both the

petitioner and complainant are none other than far

relatives to each other, who are in love with each other,

while they were about to get married, due to the internal

family dispute pondering in the complainant's residence,

the complainant has filed this case against the petitioner

and due to which the marriage was dropped and the

complainant has filed this case due to severe vengeance of

the family dispute and personal ego. The complainant

being a local resident of Kalapuragi and the father of the

complainant has insisted the respondent police and charge

sheet is filed. There is an inordinate delay of about 12

hours in filing the case against the petitioner and

complainant gives her further statement before the

Investigating Officer on 22.07.2023 in which she has

agreed that herself and petitioner were in love with each

other and they had intended to marry and due to some

quarrel in her family and not with the petitioner or with his

family, the parents of the complainant had strictly

instructed her not to get married to the petitioner. Hence,

absolutely there are no materials to proceed against the

accused. On all these grounds, sought for allowing of this

petition.

4. Per contra, learned High Court Government

Pleader appearing for respondent No.1-State opposed to

the petition.

5. I have examined the materials placed before

this Court.

6. On the basis of the complaint filed by the

complainant, Raghavendra Nagar Police have registered

the case in Crime No.113/2023 against the

accused/petitioner for the commission of offence under

Sections 504, 506, 354 of IPC and Sections 66(C), 66(D)

and 66(E) of Information Technology Act. After

investigation, the Investigating Officer has submitted the

charge sheet against the accused for the commission of

offence under Sections 341, 323, 354, 504, 506 of IPC and

Sections 66(C), 66(D) of IT Act.
