Order
24/11/2021
1. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that patently false
allegations have been levelled against the petitioner. The
story as narrated in the FIR does not inspire confidence as
the same is not convincing and highly improbable.
2. Learned counsel drew attention of this Court towards several
chats made between the petitioner and the prosecutrix at
social platform Whatsapp etc as well as some colour
photographs clearly depicting the situation that the petitioner
and the prosecutrix had been in very good terms and
relations.
3. In this view of the matter, he submits that the continuation
of the investigation in the matter would amount to abuse of
process of law. He submits that the ingredients essential to
(2 of 2) [CRLMP-5829/2021]
constitute an offence under Section 376 of IPC are
conspiciously missing. Learned counsel places reliance on
the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court rendered in the case
of Pramod Suryabhan Pawar Vs. State of Maharstra (Cr.
Appeal No.1165/2019), decided on 21.8.2019 and
accordingly prayed that the FIR impugned may be quashed.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor opposed the prayer made by the
learned counsel for the petitioner.
5. In the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case,
considering the submissions as made by counsel for the
petitioner and after going through the judgment referred
above, I deem it appropriate to direct the petitioner to
appear before the Superintendent of Police concerned and to
submit a representation alongwith all those documents, upon
which, he places reliance and the grounds raised in this
petition.
6. The Superintendent of Police is directed to consider the
representation of the petitioner and the documents
objectively; strictly in accordance with law and the recent
judgment delivered in the case of Pramod Suryabhan Pawar
(supra) and thereafter send a report to this Court.
7. Learned Public Prosecutor is directed to procure the case
diary.
8. List this case after eight weeks.
9. In the meanwhile, the petitioner shall not be arrested.
