THE HON'BLE SMT. JUSTICE G. ANUPAMA CHAKRAVARTHY
CRIMINAL REVISION CASE No.135 of 2023
JUDGMENT :
The present criminal revision case is filed by the petitioner
against the Private Complaint vide S.R.No.68 of 2023, on the file
of I Additional Junior Civil Judge-cum-IX Additional Metropolitan
Magistrate, Cyberabad at Kukatpally.
2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned
Assistant Public Prosecutor for respondent No.4 - State.
3. The impugned docket order passed by the learned Magistrate
while dismissing the complaint under Section 203 of Cr.P.C, reads
as follows:
"The contentions of the complainant in her complaint does not disclose any time and year, when alleged accused harassed her either physically or mentally. Further she is stated that due to harassment of alleged accused she attempted to commit suicide. However, neither she filed any MLC report nor any proof to show that the was subjected to cruelty due to which she tried to commit suicide."
4. Upon perusal of the above order, it is evident that no reasons
are given by the learned Magistrate for dismissing the complaint.
The order is very vague and the learned Magistrate has erroneously
came to a conclusion that there is no harassment being mentioned
by the petitioner in her complaint. But, on perusal of the
complaint, it discloses the allegations that the complainant was
physically and mentally harassed by accused Nos.1 to 3 with a
demand for additional dowry. Further, it discloses that in the month
of September, 2014, the complainant attempted to commit suicide
and she was in ICU for 3 days in Pinnamaneni Hospital at
Peddavutpally, Gannavarm, Vijayawada and even then, the
accused did not turn up to the hospital.
5. It is for the trial Court to see all these facts at the time of
leading evidence whether specific allegations were made against
each of the accused or not and whether the allegations made in the
complaint are being proved or not.
6. On perusal of the complaint at para 8, it discloses that the
complaint was registered on 19.11.2022 before the Women Police
Station, Gachibowli, Cyberabad and requested to take action
against the accused for demanding additional dowry and for
harassment made on the complainant. But, the Women Police
Station, Gachibowli, Cyberabad neither taken any action against
the accused nor registered any F.I.R, for which, she has preferred
another complaint to the Commissioner of Police, Cyberabad. Even
the Commissioner has not taken any action against the accused for
which she was constrained to file the private complaint before the
Court. It clearly discloses that the petitioner has approached the
Court with a fond hope that justice would be done to her, but
without looking into the contents of the complaint, and at the pre
matured stage, the impugned docket order was passed simply
stating that time and year of harassment/ demand for dowry was
not mentioned while lodging the complaint and no medical
certificate is filed to prove her suicide attempt.
7. Therefore, the impugned docket order is set aside and the
court below is directed to look into the contents of the complaint
and pass necessary orders by recording the evidence of the
petitioner, without being influenced by any of the observations
made in this order. The petitioner is directed to appear before the
Court on 10.03.2023, and the trial Court shall take up the matter on
the said date.
8. With the said observations, the revision case is disposed of.
Pending miscellaneous applications, if any, shall stand
closed.
