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

HC-KAR
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

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

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.
