1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD Criminal Application No.2777 of 2009 with Criminal Application No.2778 of 2009. _______________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | _______________________|_______________________________________ 1. These are applications for directions U/s 438 of the Cr.P.C. 2. The applicants are relatives of Farooq Patel, who allegedly married complainant Heena Kausar on 22.5.2009. Her complaint lodged at the Police Station reveals that she married against the will of her parents. She had left house of her parents on her own accord and thereafter she went to said Farooq and both of them went to Solapur. They were lateron residing at Solapur for ten (10) days. She alleged that her father-in- law took away the ornaments and other articles. The main allegation is that on 12.7.2009, she was forcibly taken to a private office and her signatures were taken on some Urdu documents under duress. 3. On hearing learned counsel for the applicants and the learned A.P.P. and on consideration of the investigation papers, it appears that a Video Shooting was done in respect of signing of the relevant documents by the complainant. It is probable that Farooq and his relatives wanted to prepare some record in order to show that she voluntarily signed the Talaqnama. Still, however, custodial interrogation of the applicants is not necessary for the purpose of any recovery or for the purpose of effective investigation in any manner. The applicants are likely to be humiliated if they are arrested in connection with the crime registered against them. Considering these aspects, both the applications are allowed in terms of the interim order dated 14.8.2009, including the conditions which are enumerated therein. (V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.)
