CRM-M-37508 of 2011 (O&M) - 1 - IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ***** CRM-M-37508 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision:13.12.2011 Gurcharan Singh Virdi alias Jit Pal Singh Virdi . . .Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others . . . Respondents ***** CORAM: HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN ***** Present: Mr.Joginder Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. The petitioner had prayed for quashing of the FIR No.5 dated 10.4.2009 under Sections 420 & 376 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short ‘IPC’) at Police Station NRI, Ludhiana. As per the allegation in the FIR, the complainant is a divorcee having a son to whom the petitioner is alleged to have represented that he is a widower. They came in contact through accused Satish Kumar, who is running a marriage bureau, and performed marriage on 12.3.2006. Thereafter they visited various tourist places for their honeymoon but the complainant came to know that the petitioner, who lives in England, is already married with one Raj Kaur and is having three sons. It is, thus, alleged that the petitioner is guilty of cheating and rape. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is involved in a false case. He has alleged in his petition that she had developed illicit relations with him and threatened him to perform marriage otherwise she would not have allowed him to go back to England. It is also alleged that he had never misrepresented that he is a divorcee or widower rather the complainant is living a non-virtuous life. CRM-M-37508 of 2011 (O&M) - 2 - I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record from which I have found that it is a matter of evidence as to whether the petitioner had committed the crime of cheating the complainant by concealing the fact that he was already married and having three sons and is not a widower or a divorcee. In view thereof, I do not find it to be a fit case for interference for the purpose of quashing the FIR. Hence, the present petition is found to be devoid of any merit and the same is hereby dismissed. (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) DECEMBER 13, 2011 JUDGE Vivek
