(ORAL)\n<\/pre>\n<p>             Prayer in this case is for quashing of complaint and the<\/p>\n<p>summoning order, summoning the petitioners for offences under<\/p>\n<p>Sections 406, 498A IPC.\n<\/p>\n<p>             Complainant, Naresh Rani, married Rakesh Bansal on<\/p>\n<p>15.4.1990 at Budladha as per Hindu rites. Petitioner No.2 is elder<\/p>\n<p>sister of Rakesh Bansal and petitioner No.1 is her husband.<\/p>\n<p>Petitioner No.4 is second sister of husband of the complainant and<br \/>\n CRIMINAL MISC.M NO.1030 OF 2006                           :{ 2 }:\n<\/p>\n<p>petitioner No.3 is her husband. Similarly, petitioner No.6 is sister of<\/p>\n<p>Rakesh Bansal and petitioner No.5 is her husband. Petitioner<\/p>\n<p>Nos.2,4 and 6, sisters-in-law of the complainant, were married on<\/p>\n<p>5.7.1981, 29.5.1982 and 6.7.1991 respectively. Thus, they were<\/p>\n<p>married much prior to the date of marriage of the complainant and<\/p>\n<p>her   husband,    Rakesh    Bansal.      The   marriage    between   the<\/p>\n<p>complainant and Rakesh Bansal got into trouble and ultimately<\/p>\n<p>complainant-respondent filed a complaint in the Court of Judicial<\/p>\n<p>Magistrate Ist Class, Mansa, against her husband and his parents.<\/p>\n<p>On the basis of this complaint, the petitioners and other co-accused<\/p>\n<p>stand summoned. Claiming that the allegations against the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners are false and no specific role is attributed to them, they<\/p>\n<p>have filed the present petition, seeking quashing of the complaint as<\/p>\n<p>well as the summoning order.\n<\/p>\n<p>           The submission in the petition is that the petitioners are<\/p>\n<p>married prior to the date of the marriage of the complainant and<\/p>\n<p>accordingly were living separately and as such, would have no<\/p>\n<p>concern with the matrimonial affairs of the complainant and her<\/p>\n<p>husband. According to the petitioners, the real cause of trouble is<\/p>\n<p>that husband of the complainant joined hands with brother of the<\/p>\n<p>complainant to run a partnership business at Ludhiana. This<\/p>\n<p>business concern suffered heavy losses and had to be closed down.<\/p>\n<p>The husband of the complainant asked for accounts and this led to<\/p>\n<p>dispute and differences between the couple and in order to put<\/p>\n<p>pressure on her husband to save her parental family, the<\/p>\n<p>complainant has filed this false case.\n<\/p>\n<p> CRIMINAL MISC.M NO.1030 OF 2006                         :{ 3 }:\n<\/p>\n<p>           The complaint filed is annexed with the petition as<\/p>\n<p>Annexure P-1. Specific allegations may have been made against the<\/p>\n<p>accused persons in the complaint i.e. the husband and father-in-law<\/p>\n<p>of the complainant. Allegation against the petitioners is that they also<\/p>\n<p>used to say that they were not given rings or woolen suits and, thus,<\/p>\n<p>participated in raising demand of dowry. The complainant has also<\/p>\n<p>made reference to the business started at Ludhiana and the same<\/p>\n<p>has been closed on account of losses. She, however, claims that her<\/p>\n<p>husband started torturing her on this count and said that her parents<\/p>\n<p>had not given him anything at the time of marriage. It is then alleged<\/p>\n<p>that all the accused together and in deliberation with each other,<\/p>\n<p>asked complainant to bring a sum of Rs.10 lacs from her parents in<\/p>\n<p>order to restart the factory and when her parents could not fulfill this<\/p>\n<p>demand, she was thrown out of the house in three clothes.<\/p>\n<p>Complainant has blamed all the accused, including the petitioners,<\/p>\n<p>that they have forcibly kept the dowry articles i.e. Istri Dhan of the<\/p>\n<p>complainant and, thus, would be responsible for the offence of<\/p>\n<p>criminal breach of trust. It is on the basis of this complaint that the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners have been summoned.\n<\/p>\n<p>           This petition was admitted and ordered to be heard within<\/p>\n<p>one year. At the time of admission, the proceedings were not stayed,<\/p>\n<p>though the petitioners were granted exemption from personal<\/p>\n<p>appearance. No one has come present to appear in this case today.<\/p>\n<p>Fate of the case and the stay of the proceedings as on date is not<\/p>\n<p>known.\n<\/p>\n<p>           I have gone through the pleadings and the submissions<br \/>\n CRIMINAL MISC.M NO.1030 OF 2006                        :{ 4 }:\n<\/p>\n<p>made in the petition. The only ground raised in support of the prayer<\/p>\n<p>for quashing is that the petitioners were separately living at the time<\/p>\n<p>of marriage and hence, would not have any concern in raising<\/p>\n<p>demand of dowry in this case. There are allegations made in the<\/p>\n<p>complaint that they had joined hands with other accused in raising<\/p>\n<p>demand of Rs.10 lacs, when husband of the complainant suffered<\/p>\n<p>loss in the factory at Ludhiana. It is not be possible to hold whether<\/p>\n<p>this allegation ultimately would be substantiated on the basis of<\/p>\n<p>evidence given on oath or not. The factual position in regard to the<\/p>\n<p>role played by the petitioners would have to be proved by leading<\/p>\n<p>cogent evidence before the Trial Court. On the basis of affidavit, it<\/p>\n<p>will not be appropriate to hold one way or the other. The petitioners<\/p>\n<p>would get opportunity to raise all the defences that are available to<\/p>\n<p>them. It would be for the Trial Court to see if the complainant<\/p>\n<p>succeed in proving the allegations made in the complaint or whether<\/p>\n<p>the petitioners are able to establish their innocence. This Court can<\/p>\n<p>not assume the role of Trial Court to say that the allegations made<\/p>\n<p>against the petitioners, on the basis of material, would not ultimately<\/p>\n<p>stand proved or not. That will be the role of Trial Court. It has been<\/p>\n<p>so observed by the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in State of Madhya<\/p>\n<p>Pradesh Vs. Awadh Kishore Gupta and others, 2004 (1) RCR<\/p>\n<p>(Criminal) 233.   Accordingly, it is not a fit case for quashing the<\/p>\n<p>complaint and the summoning order.\n<\/p>\n<p>           The present petition is accordingly dismissed. The<\/p>\n<p>petitioners would, however, be at liberty to raise all the pleas before<\/p>\n<p>the Trial Court, which shall take these into consideration while<br \/>\n CRIMINAL MISC.M NO.1030 OF 2006                     :{ 5 }:\n<\/p>\n<p>deciding the case.
