1. Heard Mr.Shivendu Pandya, learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Mr.Shailendra Sharma, learned Panel Lawyer appearing for respondent No.1 and Mr.Sandeep Yadav, learned counsel appearing for respondent No.2.

2. The petitioner has filed this petition under Section 482 CrPC with following prayer:-

“It is therefore, prayed that this Hon'ble Court may kindly be pleased to allow the petition filed by the petitioner and quash the FIR in connection with Crime No.135/2018 of Police Station Tarbahar, which has been registered on the basis of the false report lodged by the respondent no.2 for the offence U/s 376 of Indian Penal Code against the petitioner and also set-aside the order dated 03.03.2020 passed by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bilaspur in Khatma/kariji no. 02/2018, in the interest of justice.”

3. Brief facts of the case are that on the basis of the complaint filed by the petitioner before the Superintendent of Police, Bilaspur on 06.11.2017, the petitioner disclosed that respondent no. 2, who is presently working at Galaxy Hero Bike Agency at Maharana Pratap Chowk, Bilaspur and permanently residing at Ramnagar Tikaripara, Takhatpur, used to call him on his mobile phone and disturb and harass him by sending messages on mobile number 7415668230 (old number) and presently on new number 9039594669. Respondent no. 2 was acquainted with the petitioner as she had met him while taking PSC coaching at Patel Tutorials for preparation for competitive examinations. She used to say during mobile conversations that she needed his guidance with respect to the PSC coaching. Thereafter, respondent no. 2 met him, and she then began threatening him that he should marry her; otherwise, she would create obstacles in his marriage. The relatives of the petitioner had also advised respondent no. 2 and informed her father, directing her not to harass the petitioner further. However, respondent no. 2 did not heed her father’s words, attempted to underestimate the petitioner, and stated that she would harass him during his duty hours. She also stated that she would implicate the petitioner in a false case or commit suicide. On the basis of the written complaint dated 06.11.2017 (Annexure P/2) lodged before the Superintendent of Police, Bilaspur, the ASI of Police Station Tarbahar was directed to conduct an enquiry.

4. Further, complaints were made before the Additional Superintendent of Police on 10.11.2017 and 09.02.2018. On all three occasions, enquiry reports were submitted by the police of Police Station Tarbahar, but no case was made out against the petitioner on the basis of the reports submitted by the Station House Officer, Police Station Tarbahar, dated 26.11.2017, 19.12.2017, and 07.05.2018.

5. The report was lodged by respondent no. 2 on 05.05.2018.

Therefore, it is apparent that respondent no. 2, in order to falsely implicate the petitioner, lodged the report belatedly, for which no explanation has been offered regarding the delay in lodging the report at Police Station Tarbahar. It is therefore evident that the report was lodged only with the intent to illegally involve the petitioner in a false c
