1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE FOR RAJASTHAN JAIPUR BENCH AT JAIPUR ORDER S.B.Civil Writ Petition No.1098/2006 (Dhannjay Jain Vs. The State of Rajasthan & Ors.) Date of Order :- 25.02.2009 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE R.S.CHAUHAN Mr.Ravi Kasliwal, for the petitioner. Mr.S.D. Khaspuria, Addl.G.A. for the State. The petitioner has prayed for quashing the FIR No.21/2006 registered at Police Station Madanganj. According the the petitioner, he got married to Priyanka Jain the daughter of respondent No.4 on 04.01.2006 in Arya Samaj Temple at Saradhna. However, his in-laws are not too happy with the said marriage. Therefore, the respondent No.4 filed a FIR for offences under Section 363, 366, 384 IPC at Police Station Madanganj. According to the petitioner, Smt. Priyanka Jain is major and she has married the petitioner out of her own freewill. During the pendency of this writ petition, vide order dated 16.05.2006, the Deputy Registrar (Judicial) was directed to record the statement of Smt. Priyanka Jain. Her statement was duly recorded on 16.05.2006. The same has been produced before this Court. 2 A bare perusal of the said statement clearly reveals that Smt. Priyanka Jain claims that her date of birth is 27.06.1985. Hence, she is major. She further claims that out of her own freewill, she had married the petitioner according to the Hindu rites and ceremonies. The marriage was performed on 04.01.2006 in Arya Samaj Temple at Saradhna. She further claims that she would like to live with her husband and his family. She has unequivocally stated that her father has lodged a false and frivolous FIR against the petitioner and his family members. The said statement shall be kept in the Court file as a part of judicial record. Considering the statement of Smt. Priyanka Jain, no fruitful purpose would be served if the FIR is continuing to exist. Therefore, in the interest of justice this Court has no hesitation in quashing and setting aside the FIR No.21/2006 registered at Police Station Madanganj for the aforementioned offences. Hence, this writ petition is hereby allowed. There shall be no order as to costs. (R.S.CHAUHAN)J. Manoj Solanki
