The allegations of the prosecution in brief are that on 09 th<\/p>\n<p>February, 2007, the deceased Sudha Shri was married to Uday<\/p>\n<p>Narayan, son of the petitioners No. 1 &amp; 2 and brother of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners No. 3 &amp; 4.          Sudha Shri died due to asphyxia by hanging,<\/p>\n<p>an unnatural death in her matrimonial home at Delhi on 03 rd June,<\/p>\n<p>2008.     Her death was reported to the SDM, who during inquest<\/p>\n<p>proceedings recorded the statements of Bihari Prasad and Urmila<\/p>\n<p>Prasad, father and mother of the deceased.             On the basis of the<\/p>\n<p>statement of Bihari Prasad, FIR was registered qua the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>and Uday Narayan, husband of the deceased.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>3.     Learned Sh. K.N.Balgopal, Sr. Advocate appearing for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners has contended that perusal of the statement of Bihari<\/p>\n<p>Prasad recorded by the SDM on 05th June, 2005 would show that in<\/p>\n<p>the said statement, there is not a whisper against the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>that they subjected the deceased to cruelty or harassment in<\/p>\n<p>relation to the dowry demand.             Learned counsel has specifically<\/p>\n<p>referred to question Nos. 4, 5, 6 &amp; 7 put by the SDM to Bihari Prasad<\/p>\n<p>and answers given by him and submitted that on reading of the<\/p>\n<p>answers given by Bihari Prasad to the SDM, it is apparent that the<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.Rev.P Nos. 720\/2010 &amp; 721\/2010                                 Page 2 of 9<\/span><br \/>\n alleged demand of ` 5 lakhs was only in relation to purchase of a<\/p>\n<p>house at Delhi, which cannot be termed as a demand for dowry.<\/p>\n<p>Aforesaid questions and answers are reproduced thus:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       &#8220;Question No. 4: Whether your daughter was beaten or harassed<br \/>\n       for bringing less dowry in her matrimonial home?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Ans.: Immediately after the marriage my daughter was residing in<br \/>\n       my house and she was doing B.Ed. On the festival of Deshear, my<br \/>\n       daughter came to her husband in Delhi and after residing in Delhi<br \/>\n       for 15 days she came back to Patna and started residing in her<br \/>\n       matrimonial house where her harassment started. The father-in-<br \/>\n       law of my daughter used to reside with her elder son Narain Yadav<br \/>\n       in Patna in his house. My daughter used to be taunted by her<br \/>\n       brother-in-law Suraj Narain, father-in-law Ram Bahadur Yadav, her<br \/>\n       mother-in-law and sister-in-law Indu Devi.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Question No. 5: Did you call a panchayat in this regard or give any<br \/>\n       complaint any where?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Ans.: No. I did not do this due to the fear of the society.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Question No. 6.: When did you met last with your daughter?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Ans.: On 27-05-2008 in the night, my son-in-law made a telephone<br \/>\n       call to me that I was not helping them financially. Therefore, I<br \/>\n       should come to Delhi and daughter (sic) otherwise, the result will<br \/>\n       be bad. Here I want to mention (sic) that my daughter in<br \/>\n       December, 2007 had come from Patna to Delhi to her husband.<br \/>\n       On 28-05-2008, I took a train and reached Delhi on 29-05-2008<br \/>\n       where I got compromised the matter between my daughter and<br \/>\n       son-in-law in front of his friends because the son-in-law wanted<br \/>\n       some financial help after which on 02.06.2008, I again set out for<br \/>\n       Patna.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Question No. 7: What do you know about this incident?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>       Ans.: I was in the train when on my mobile No. 93348444401, I<br \/>\n       received the telephone call of my son-in-law that I had left without<br \/>\n       giving something and that I should see the condition of my<br \/>\n       daughter. I persuaded him after which I reached Patna on 03-06-<br \/>\n       2008 in the evening at which at about 9-10 p.m. in the night, the SI<br \/>\n       Sh. Rawat of Delhi Police told me on phone that my daughter had<br \/>\n       hanged herself&#8221;. On 04-06-2008 in the morning I reached Delhi<br \/>\n       by a morning flight&#8221;.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Learned counsel has also referred to following portion of the<\/p>\n<p>statement of Uday Narayan, husband of the deceased recorded by<\/p>\n<p>the SDM on 03rd June, 2008 which is inter alia, reproduced thus:<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.Rev.P Nos. 720\/2010 &amp; 721\/2010                                       Page 3 of 9<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>        &#8220;Since after marriage, there were quarrels between myself and my<br \/>\n       wife on petty issues. My wife had resided with me in Patna City<br \/>\n       and I was doing job in Delhi after which I brought my wife Delhi.<br \/>\n       We used to quarrel on the petty household issues. Previously also<br \/>\n       my wife had threatened me that she will leave me and regarding<br \/>\n       committing suicide. I also disclosed these facts to my parents-in-<br \/>\n       law but they kept on saying that it is just routine. Now some days<br \/>\n       ago Sudha Shri set on fire her marriage clothes and started saying<br \/>\n       that in the similar matter she will burn herself. I got frightened<br \/>\n       upon seeing this and I told my parents in law on phone that Sudha<br \/>\n       Shri had put the fire upon which my parents in law came to Delhi<br \/>\n       and they talked to her. Sudha Shri also quarrelled with them. I<br \/>\n       also got my parents in law to tour Delhi. After that my parents in<br \/>\n       law went to Patna by train in yesterday night. In today morning, I<br \/>\n       had left my wife in normal condition in the house and had gone to<br \/>\n       my office at 11:00 A.M. Today in the evening at 7:30 P.M., when I<br \/>\n       returned back home then it was dark inside the house and the door<br \/>\n       was closed from inside. I tried a lot but the door could not be<br \/>\n       open.&#8221;\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Learned counsel submitted that from the aforesaid statement, it is<\/p>\n<p>obvious that the deceased was not of a stable mind and she<\/p>\n<p>committed suicide under depression.               Learned counsel further<\/p>\n<p>contended that not only this, during the pendency of this petition,<\/p>\n<p>examination-in-chief of Bihari Prasad was recorded and in the said<\/p>\n<p>statement, he has not referred to the telephonic call dated 10th May,<\/p>\n<p>2008 between him and his daughter, which basically is the<\/p>\n<p>foundation of allegation of dowry demand and harassment. He<\/p>\n<p>submitted that even PW2 Urmila Prasad, mother of the deceased did<\/p>\n<p>not mention about the said telephonic call in her examination-in-<\/p>\n<p>chief, and her only reply to the suggestion given to her in cross<\/p>\n<p>examination by learned A.P.P. that her husband received a<\/p>\n<p>telephonic call dated 10th May, 2008 from Uday Narayan, whereby<\/p>\n<p>he had threatened to kill their daughter is of no consequence. In<\/p>\n<p>view of the above-said circumstances, learned counsel submits that<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.Rev.P Nos. 720\/2010 &amp; 721\/2010                                     Page 4 of 9<\/span><br \/>\n no case under Section 498A\/304B IPC is made out, as such, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners are entitled to discharge.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>4.      Learned APP, on the other hand, has submitted that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners have been rightly charged for the offences under Section<\/p>\n<p>498A\/304B\/34 IPC. In support of her contention, she has drawn my<\/p>\n<p>attention to the copies of the statements of the witnesses recorded<\/p>\n<p>under Section 161 CrPC during investigation.               Relevant portion of<\/p>\n<p>statement of Bihari Prasad, father of the deceased is reproduced<\/p>\n<p>thus:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>        &#8220;At the time of marriage, the sister-in-law Indu Bharti and mother<br \/>\n        in law Ram Sundri Devi taunted that the Jewellery was less and at<br \/>\n        8:00 A.M. on 10.05.2008 my daughter told on phone that the<br \/>\n        parents in law and the brother and sister in law had come to Delhi<br \/>\n        also and have demanded ` 5 lacs and that she was being harassed.<br \/>\n        She told that she was in difficulty. I talk to Udai Narain Yadav who<br \/>\n        said that I should take back my daughter and threatened to take<br \/>\n        divorce and disconnected the phone&#8221;.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>        Sudha Shri started residing with her husband in Delhi where also<br \/>\n        Udai Narain, Ram Bahadur, Suraj Narain and Ram Sundri Devi and<br \/>\n        Indu Bharti who also came to Delhi and demanded ` 5 lacs. They<br \/>\n        all frequently visit Delhi and pressurized my daughter to bring ` 5<br \/>\n        lacs and tortured her and in Delhi all these greedy persons beat<br \/>\n        my daughter black and blue by knocking her on the ground.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>        On 29-05-2008, I with my wife Urmila and relative Shambhu Prasad<br \/>\n        had come to Delhi after being called by Sudha Shri and we tried to<br \/>\n        persuade Udai Narain for 3 days but he remain adamant and said<br \/>\n        that we should purchase a house for him in Delhi otherwise, he will<br \/>\n        not keep Sudha Shri at which I told him that I was myself in a<br \/>\n        rented house and was not in a position to purchase a house or to<br \/>\n        give ` 5 lacs and we returned to Patna on 02-06-2008 after<br \/>\n        persuading Sudha Shri and Udai Narain.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>        Till Railway Station my daughter Sudha Shri had come to see us off<br \/>\n        and we had left and when we were in the train then on mobile<br \/>\n        phone my son in law Udai Narain called me and said that we had<br \/>\n        left without giving him any financial help and it will be bad and<br \/>\n        disconnected the phone after half an hour I called my daughter<br \/>\n        Sudha Shri who told on phone that Udai Narain was beating her<br \/>\n        and was saying that the coming of her parents was of no use&#8221;.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.Rev.P Nos. 720\/2010 &amp; 721\/2010                                        Page 5 of 9<\/span><\/p>\n<p> Learned APP also referred to the statement under Section 161 CrPC<\/p>\n<p>of the mother of the deceased.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>5.     Learned APP further referred to the statement of witness<\/p>\n<p>Shambhu Prasad, who has inter alia stated thus in his statement<\/p>\n<p>under Section 161 Cr.P.C.:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>       &#8220;After marriage I frequently visited the house of Bihari Prasad who<br \/>\n       himself and his wife Urmila told me that the in-laws of Sudha Shri<br \/>\n       were demanding ` 5 lacs and if the money will not be given then<br \/>\n       they are threatening to kill her. After this, on 29-05-2008 , Bihari<br \/>\n       Prasad took me alongwith his wife Urmila and came to Delhi and<br \/>\n       we all three went to the rented accommodation of Sudha Shri in<br \/>\n       Delhi where we persuaded a lot Udai Narain Yadav and Sudha Shri<br \/>\n       but Udai Narain remain adamant on his demand of ` 5 lacs and<br \/>\n       kept on saying that his parents, elder brother and his sister in law<br \/>\n       have directed him to purchase a house in Delhi for which ` 5 lacs<br \/>\n       are required which were refused by Bihari Prasad at which Udai<br \/>\n       Narain said in my presence that he will not keep Sudha Shri and for<br \/>\n       3 days, we kept on persuading him but he remained adamant and<br \/>\n       we came back. From New Delhi Railway Station Sudha Shri came<br \/>\n       to see us off. At about 11:00 P.M., Bihari Prasad called from the<br \/>\n       moving train that if Sudha Shri had reached home at which Sudha<br \/>\n       Shri told that she was in the house and Udai Narain was still<br \/>\n       threatening her to kill her that the purpose for which we were<br \/>\n       called to Delhi was not fulfilled&#8221;.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Learned APP argued that aforesaid version of the witnesses, if found<\/p>\n<p>reliable    during      trial,   would   definitely   provide   foundation     for<\/p>\n<p>conviction of the petitioners for the offences under Sections<\/p>\n<p>498A\/304B IPC read with Section 34 IPC.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>6.     As regards the statements made by PW1 Bihari Prasad and<\/p>\n<p>PW2 Urmila Prasad during trial, it is submitted by learned APP that<\/p>\n<p>those statements are in incomplete, cross examination of witnesses<\/p>\n<p>has not yet started and it is possible that the learned APP may opt to<\/p>\n<p>further examine the witnesses, as such, at this juncture, it cannot be<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.Rev.P Nos. 720\/2010 &amp; 721\/2010                                       Page 6 of 9<\/span><br \/>\n said that Bihari Prasad and Urmila Prasad, parents of the deceased<\/p>\n<p>have not supported their version given in their statements under<\/p>\n<p>Section 161 CrPC.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>7.     I have considered the rival submissions and perused the<\/p>\n<p>material on record. It is well settled that at the time of framing of<\/p>\n<p>charge, the court is supposed to take a prima facie view of the<\/p>\n<p>matter and is not expected to indulge in an intricate exercise of<\/p>\n<p>analysing the evidence to come to the conclusion regarding falsity<\/p>\n<p>or correctness of the prosecution case.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>8.     The court at the stage of charge is prima facie expected to<\/p>\n<p>consider the material offered by the investigation to be adduced in<\/p>\n<p>evidence, to assess if aforesaid material, if provided, is sufficient to<\/p>\n<p>hold the accused guilty. If it is so, the charge has to be framed. In<\/p>\n<p>my aforesaid view, I find support from the judgments of Supreme<\/p>\n<p>Court in the matter of Kanti Bhadra Shah Vs. State of Bengal<\/p>\n<p>(2000) 1 SCC 722 and State of Madhya Pradesh Vs. Dr. Krishna<\/p>\n<p>Chandra Saksena, (1996) 11 SCC 439.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>9.     In the instant case, from the above statements of the<\/p>\n<p>witnesses, namely the parents of the deceased and Shambhu<\/p>\n<p>Prasad, a prima facie case of dowry demand and harassment soon<\/p>\n<p>before the death of the deceased against the petitioners is made<\/p>\n<p>out.    Admittedly, the deceased has died an unnatural death within<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.Rev.P Nos. 720\/2010 &amp; 721\/2010                              Page 7 of 9<\/span><br \/>\n seven years of her marriage by hanging, therefore, prima facie, a<\/p>\n<p>case under Section 498A\/304B IPC is made out.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>10.    As regards the statements of the parents of the deceased<\/p>\n<p>recorded during trial, it is suffice to say that their examination is yet<\/p>\n<p>not complete and there is every possibility that the prosecutor may<\/p>\n<p>opt to further examine the witnesses. Further one cannot lose sight<\/p>\n<p>of the fact that even the Trial Court, under Section 311 of the Code<\/p>\n<p>of Criminal Procedure, has ample power to examine the witnesses<\/p>\n<p>namely Bihari Prasad and Urmila Prasad, parents of the deceased if<\/p>\n<p>the court deems it essential for just adjudication of the case. It is<\/p>\n<p>the object of Section 311 Cr.P.C. to ensure just decision of the case<\/p>\n<p>and to prevent miscarriage of justice.           In the instant case,<\/p>\n<p>admittedly, as per the statements of the parents of the deceased<\/p>\n<p>recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C., they received a telephone call<\/p>\n<p>from their daughter on 10th May, 2008, who told them about her<\/p>\n<p>harassment and cruel treatment at the hands of parents-in-law and<\/p>\n<p>the brother-in-law &amp; sister-in-law, who had visited Delhi.         If the<\/p>\n<p>Prosecutor wittingly or unwittingly has failed to ask any questions to<\/p>\n<p>the witnesses in this regard, the Trial Court under Section 311<\/p>\n<p>Cr.P.C., can always use its discretion to examine the witnesses on<\/p>\n<p>this aspect of the matter for clarification of the facts with a view to<\/p>\n<p>arrive at a just decision of the case and such exercise of discretion<\/p>\n<p>on the part of the Trial Court, in my view, would be in the interest of<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">Crl.Rev.P Nos. 720\/2010 &amp; 721\/2010                               Page 8 of 9<\/span><br \/>\n the just decision of the case.       Since the investigating agency, along<\/p>\n<p>with the charge sheet has placed material on record to show that a<\/p>\n<p>telephonic conversation did take place on 10th May, 2008 between<\/p>\n<p>the deceased and her father, in my considered view, the Trial Court<\/p>\n<p>with a view to bring out substantial justice, is likely to feel obliged to<\/p>\n<p>exercise its discretion to examine the parents of the deceased on<\/p>\n<p>the aspect of the aforesaid call purportedly made by the deceased<\/p>\n<p>to her father to bring true facts on record and arrive at just decision<\/p>\n<p>in the case.        Thus, in my considered view, aforesaid incomplete<\/p>\n<p>statements of parents of the deceased recorded during trial cannot<\/p>\n<p>be used at this stage for quashing of charge.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>11.
