1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Criminal Writ Petition No. 635 of 2008. [Ku. Sonu Machchindra Patil V. State of Mah and others.] ---------------------------------------------------------------- Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram,appearances,Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Shri Vishal Anand, Advocate, for the petitioner. Shri A.T. Mirza, APP for respondents. ----- Coram: A. H. JOSHI AND A. B. CHAUDHARI JJ. Dated: 7th JANUARY 2009. 1. This petition is filed for two reliefs :- (i) a direction to the respondent no.3 to take action furtherance to the petitioner's complaint dated 16-9-2002; and (ii) for compensation towards her wrongful arrest and detention. 2. In so far as the first part is concerned, it is not in dispute now that not only that crime was registered, but even the investigation was completed and the charge-sheet was 2 filed. The prayer No.(i) is satisfied and no further directions are necessary. 3. In so far as the prayer no.2 is concerned, the petitioner considers that her arrest was wrongfully done. This information is in the background that the petitioner gave a declaration that :- (1) she would commit the suicide; (2) she did not withdraw; (c) she was arrested to prevent commission of suicide. 4. It is not disputed even in the rejoinder that Criminal Case No.13 of 2004 was filed against her in which the order of remand is passed. 5. Thus, arrest is a fact which has prevented her from committing attempt to suicide. 6. We do not see any reason to regard such arrest, prima facie, to be illegal. Moreover, when the declaration by the petitioner that she would commit suicide is not disputed, we hardly see that any other option was available to 3 the police than to arrest her. The petitioner could have prevented her further detention either by applying for bail and giving an undertaking that she was ready to resile from the declaration. 7. In this background, we find that no indulgence is called for and the petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE //Muley//
