CASE HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/08/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY PASSED THE FOLLOWING: tss V. RAMKUMAR, J. ====================== Crl.M.C. No. 3193 of 2010 ======================== DATED: 06.08.2010 O R D E R Petitioner, who is the accused in crime No. 865/2010 of Kunnamkulam Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 376 IPC, seeks to quash the F.I.R and all further proceedings on the ground that the F.I. Statement was not willingly given by the second respondent/de facto complainant that as they were in love with each other and that on the basis of some complaint, the police were arresting both of them and after manhandling the second respondent/de facto complainant she was forced to sign blank papers for registration of the above crime. According to the petitioner, parents of both the petitioner and second respondent have now agreed to the marriage between the petitioners and the second respondent. 2. It is too early to consider whether the F.I. Statement is liable to be quashed. I am, therefore, not inclined to quash the F.I.R. I am, however, inclined to permit the petitioner to surrender before the Magistrate and apply for regular bail. In Crl.M.C. No. 3193/2010 2 case, the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate and applies for regular bail within two weeks from today, the Magistrate concerned shall release the petitioner on bail on appropriate conditions. This petition is disposed of as above. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE ln
