The second respondent Asma Begum lodged the present complaint on 13.05.2010 on the basis of which, the present crime was registered in Crime No.86 of 2010. Since the second respondent Asma Begum not aware of the registration of the case, again filed a private complaint before the concerned Magistrate and the same was referred under Section 156(3) Cr.P.C. on which a crime was registered in Cr.No.91 of 2010 by the concerned police station. The petitioner approaches this Court to quash the said Crime No.91 of 2010 on the ground that earlier complaint was registered in Cr.No.86 of 2010. While disposal of the said petition, this Court ordered the learned Magistrate after quashing the Crime No.91 of 2010 to record the sworn statement of the de facto complainant, the second respondent herein. Accordingly, the second respondent was examined by the learned Magistrate in Cr.No.91 of 2010 in which the de facto complainant – second respondent deposed as follows: “ I know A1 Abdul Samad @ Zunaid and I do not know A2 to A8. A1 is resident of Tandur. In the year 2008 I was working as a teacher in Sujatha Model School, Tandur. A1 used to come to the school. Then we became friends and one day A1 proposed that he was loving me and promised to marry me and he used to talk me on telephone and cell phone and used to give S.M.S. So I fell in love with A1. In the month of March 2009 I was taken by A1 to his house on the ground that he would introduce me to his parents. So I went to the house of A1 along with him. I talked with the parents of A1 in respect of marriage. They gave consent for our marriage. Then I returned to my house. A1 did not commit any rape on me when I visited his house and nobody threatened me or cheated me or beat me at that time. On 01.05.2010 I along with my parents and elders went to the house of A1 and we talked about my marriage with A1. They did not beat me at that time. Then I returned to my house. On 10.05.2010 I visited the house of A1 and we talked about our marriage to A1’s parents. On that day also they did not beat me. A1 never had sexual intercourse with me and I never got abortion at any hospital. I do not want to proceed with this case. ” While reading the above said statement, it is evident that the complainant - the second respondent not inclined to proceed further and also she has stated the complaint lodged by her on 13.05.2010 may not be proceeded further. Considering the same, this Court is of the view that the pendency of the Crime No.86 of 2010 on the file of the respondent- police will amount to abuse of process. Hence, the complaint in Cr.No.86 of 2010 on the file of Tandur Police Station is hereby liable to be quashed. Accordingly, the same is quashed. The Criminal Petition is accordingly allowed. ___________________ JUSTICE RAJA ELANGO Dated:27.08.2010 Rns
