Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION NO. 10403 OF 2010 ORDER: This criminal petition is filed seeking to quash the proceedings in Crime No.53 of 2010 on the file of Kalasapadu Police Station, YSR District registered under Sections 354, 506 and 363 read with 511 IPC. I have heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned counsel appearing for the second respondent and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State. The second respondent/de facto complainant filed a complaint alleging that the petitioner was harassing her stating that he would marry her and on a report given by her, the police called him to the police station and admonished him. Subsequently, it is said that the petitioner stated to the second respondent that he kidnapped her parents, if she comes along with him he would take her to her parents. Relying on the version of the petitioner, the second respondent went along with him and it is said that the second respondent forcibly married her. Subsequently, according to the second respondent, she removed the ‘Thali’ and went away to her parents’ house and thereafter on 29.08.2010 at about 2.00 PM the petitioner went to the house of the second respondent and dragged her by catching hold of her hand and basing on these allegations, a case was registered against the petitioner under Sections 354, 506 and 363 read with 511 IPC. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner and the second respondent are classmates loved each other, they out of their free will married each other and their parents did not approve the said marriage. According to the learned counsel the second respondent gave false report against the petitioner. The learned counsel further submitted that in fact, when the petitioner was invited, the parents of the second respondent are at their house and as the parents of the second respondent brutally assaulted the petitioner, the petitioner lodged a report in Porumamilla Police Station. The documents filed by the petitioner along with the criminal petition which include photographs of the marriage would clearly reveal that the petitioner and the second respondent voluntarily married each other. Further, the allegations mentioned in the report lodged by the second respondent with the police appear to be prima facie false. Both the learned counsel submitted that both parties compromised and they agreed to withdraw the respective cases. It is also brought to the notice of this Court that subsequently, the second respondent was married to another person. Under these circumstances, the proceedings in Crime No.53 of 2010 on the file of Kalasapadu Police Station, YSR District registered under Sections 354, 506 and 363 read with 511 IPC are hereby quashed. The criminal petition is allowed. ________________ R.KANTHA RAO,J Date: 20.10.2010 kvrm HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE R.KANTHA RAO CRIMINAL PETITION NO. 10403 OF 2010 DATE: 20.10.2011
