Criminal Revision filed under sections 397 and 401 of Criminal
Procedure Code against the judgment dated 31.08.2010 made in
C.M.P.No.4561 of 2010 on the file of the Court of the Judicial
Magistrate II, Pollachi.
For Petitioner :
Mr.S.Vadivel Murugan
O R D E R
This petition arises against the dismissal of a complaint
preferred by the petitioner, by the learned Judicial Magistrate II,
Pollachi, under order dated 31.08.2010 in C.M.P.No.4561 of 2010.
2. Pursuant to receipt of a complaint registered in Crime No.18
of 2008 for offence under Sections 417 and 506(i) IPC, an
investigation was conducted. As the de facto complainant had informed
of having become pregnant owing to the wrongful actions of the
petitioner, she was subjected to medical examination. A charge sheet
was filed by the respondent informing commission of offence under
Sections 417 and 506(i) IPC. Therein, it had been stated that the de
facto complainant was pregnant. In the course of trial, the Doctor
who examined the de facto complainant, deposed as PW-5 and informed
that upon his examination, the de facto complainant in the case was
not found to be pregnant. His report of examination was marked as
Ex.P2. The case ended in acquittal. Thereafter, this petitioner has
moved a complaint which came to be dismissed by the Court below under
Section 203 IPC. There against, this revision.
3. This Court finds that the entire case of the
petitioner/complainant complaining of offence under Section 193 IPC is
on the strength of the charge sheet informing that the de facto
complainant was pregnant. While deposing in Court the respondent, in
chief, had stated that the de facto complainant had been sent for
https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/
medical examination and that the charge sheet had been filed for
offence under Sections 417 and 506(i) IPC pursuant to completion of
investigation. In cross, the respondent had denied that the contents
of the charge sheet informing of the de facto complainant being
pregnant was a figment of her imagination. This Court is in agreement
with the conclusion of the Court below in dismissing the complaint.
The complaint provided very little to take action upon, particularly,
where this Court finds that the respondent had not in any manner
tampered with the medical record so as to mulct the petitioner with
criminal liability. The wording in the final report informing of the
de facto complainant having been pregnant can in the facts and
circumstances of the case, be seen only as a mistake.
4. In the result, the Criminal Revision stands dismissed.
