An<\/p>\n<p>additional prayer has been made for quashing also of &#8220;the entire<\/p>\n<p>consequential process of prosecution case.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>          According to       the complaint    petition filed   by the<\/p>\n<p>complainant, Ruksana Khatoon, who has been impleaded herein as<\/p>\n<p>O.P. No.2, her nikah with Imtiaz Ahmad, petitioner no.1, was<\/p>\n<p>performed on 6.6.1993 even as she was teenager and rukhsadi was<\/p>\n<p>performed in the year 1998. It is alleged that on entry into the marital<\/p>\n<p>home even as she took up her matrimonial obligations, the behaviour<\/p>\n<p>of the accused persons was not congenial and they resorted to taunting<\/p>\n<p>her as her father had allegedly not provided sufficient cash at the time<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                      -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of rukhsadi and they started pressurizing her to bring from her father<\/p>\n<p>Rs.2 lakhs as dowry and when she refused to oblige, in view of the<\/p>\n<p>poor financial capacity of her father and brother, the accused persons<\/p>\n<p>became furious and she was subjected to cruelty and torture, both<\/p>\n<p>physical and mental, which she in due course transmitted to her<\/p>\n<p>parents and brother. They on receipt of the information along with<\/p>\n<p>some witnesses came over and enquired about Ruksana&#8217;s torture. It is<\/p>\n<p>said that the accused persons told the visitors that Imtiaz Ahmad, the<\/p>\n<p>husband, had given up his job as cashier with the Private Banking<\/p>\n<p>Company at Aligarh and the sum of Rs.2 lakhs by way of dowry was<\/p>\n<p>required to establish him in business. They also allegedly warned that<\/p>\n<p>if the amount was not furnished the torture of the complainant would<\/p>\n<p>continue unabated. It is said that shocked by the behaviour of the<\/p>\n<p>accused persons and their unreasonable demand the father of the<\/p>\n<p>complainant died. It is also said that repeated attempts by the brother<\/p>\n<p>of the   complainant and the witnesses to plead with the accused<\/p>\n<p>persons not to subject the complainant to torture was not heeded and<\/p>\n<p>eventually on 9.4.2005 she was assaulted and ousted from the<\/p>\n<p>matrimonial home. She has since then been residing with her mother<\/p>\n<p>and brother.\n<\/p>\n<p>          Denying the allegation of dowry demand it was submitted<\/p>\n<p>by the learned counsel for the petitioner that although the accused<\/p>\n<p>persons desired to keep the complainant with all respect and<\/p>\n<p>cordiality, it was the complainant who never wished to stay in the<\/p>\n<p>matrimonial home and the only condition laid down for living with the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                       -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>husband was that the husband transfer his property in the name of the<\/p>\n<p>complainant. It has also been submitted that prior to the filing of the<\/p>\n<p>instant complaint petition, the husband of the complainant had filed<\/p>\n<p>Complaint Case No.230(C) of 2002 against the father of the<\/p>\n<p>complainant and his brother which was still pending before the<\/p>\n<p>S.D.J.M., Bagha, and had also filed a petition before Emarat Saraiya,<\/p>\n<p>Baswaria Branch for restoration of conjugal rights. In this connection,<\/p>\n<p>it was sought to be submitted that the fact that the complainant was<\/p>\n<p>living in her parental house continuously ever since 1999 would be<\/p>\n<p>apparent from the assertions in the petition of Complaint Case<\/p>\n<p>No.230(C) of 2002 and when the husband went to bring her back, the<\/p>\n<p>complainant, her father and brother assaulted him and told him to<\/p>\n<p>remarry Ruksana or else they would file a case against him. Several<\/p>\n<p>other points have been raised in defence in respect of accused nos.3, 4<\/p>\n<p>and 5 who are not petitioners in this application.<\/p>\n<p>          In a proceeding instituted on complaint, exercise of inherent<\/p>\n<p>powers to quash the proceedings is called for only in cases where the<\/p>\n<p>complaint does not disclose any offence or is vexatious or oppressive.<\/p>\n<p>Allegations of malafide against the complainant are of no<\/p>\n<p>consequence and cannot by itself form the basis for quashing the<\/p>\n<p>proceedings. It is the material collected at the enquiry under Section<\/p>\n<p>202 Cr.P.C. which decides the fate of the accused persons. It is by<\/p>\n<p>now well settled that the normal rule would be that if the allegations<\/p>\n<p>and the surrounding circumstances of the particular case constitute<\/p>\n<p>prima facie materials calling for a trial, interference would not be in<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                       -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the interest of justice and would clearly be contrary to law.<\/p>\n<p>          That apart no law point has been raised so as to call for any<\/p>\n<p>interference.\n<\/p>\n<p>          Accordingly, I find no merit in this application which is<\/p>\n<p>dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                    (Abhijit Sinha,J)<\/p>\n<p>Patna High Court, Patna.\n<\/p>\n<pre>Dated: The 4th       of July, 2008.\nPradeep Srivastava\/A.F.R.\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Patna High Court &#8211; Orders Imtiaz Ahmad &amp;Amp; Anr vs State Of Bihar &amp;Amp; Anr on 4 July, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc.
