wife files 498a though case already ordered by family court, husband tries quash, HC REJECTS quash



Notes
***********
  • parties already involved in matrimonial litigation
  • husband has order from family court
  • still wife manages to file 498a
  • husband tries quash before HC stating that allowing the case to continue is an abuse of the process of law
  • HC REFUSES to quash

thoughts
****************
  • We do NOT know the full details of this case
  • However it is found that Women are regularly filing false , frivilous and vexatious cases just to settle scores or to make a quick buck
  • This happens especially IF the husband wins or is about to win a family court case !!

Crl.M.C. NO. 881 of 2012
----------------------------------------
Dated this the 27th day of September, 2012

ORDER


Petitioner is the accused in a pending case, numbered as C.C.No.1172 of 2011, on the file of the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court, Thrissur. He is being prosecuted for offences punishable under Sections 403, 406, 498(A) and 506(ii) of Indian Penal Code, on a report filed by the Sub Inspector of Police, Town West Police Station, Thrissur.

The crime in the aforesaid case was registered on the complaint given by his wife imputing of matrimonial cruelty and harassment demanding dowry. After investigation report was filed indicting him of the offences as stated supra, and the case numbered as above stated is now pending before the magistrate.    

Petitioner has filed the above petition for quashing the criminal proceedings against him in the case contending that such proceedings are an abuse of process of the court. Allegations imputed against him by his wife are false and totally unworthy of any merit, is his case relying upon some documents produced and also circumstances relating to previous proceedings between the spouses.

Whatever defences available to the petitioner to resist the prosecution, no doubt, can be canvassed before the magistrate. In case, he has got any sustainable ground to seek for discharge on the premise that the charges imputed against him are groundless, it is open to the petitioner to canvass the same as envisaged under Section 239 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

After looking into the materials produced and also considering the submissions made, I find this is not a fit case for invoking the inherent powers of this court as canvassed for.

Petition is dismissed.


S.S.SATHEESACHANDRAN

JUDGE.
