This Criminal Petition is filed by the petitioner-accused seeking to quash the proceedings in SC No.207 of 2025 on the file of the Fast Track Special Court for expeditious trial and disposal of Rape and POCSO Act cases, Medchal-Malkajgiri District at Kukatpally, for the offences under Sections 376(2)(n), 417, 420 and 312 IPC.

2. Heard Sri J. Sameer Anurag, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Jithender Rao Veeramalla, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent No.1-State.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the relationship between the petitioner and the de facto complainant is a consensual relationship and when the petitioner denied to marry her, as he is already married, the de facto complainant lodged this false complaint. He further submitted that in fact, the petitioner invested some amount in the Botique of the de facto complainant and she failed to return the same and to avoid payment of the said amount, the present case is foisted against the petitioner and that continuation of proceedings would be an abuse of process of law.

He, therefore, prayed to quash the proceedings.
