(3.) Respondent No. 2 -original complainant - Arbindbhai s/o. Dwarkadas Jani has filed an affidavit-in-reply. He has opposed the present petition and has contended that the petitioner has falsely stated that she is a national citizen of India whereas, in all her letters written by her to the Police Inspector with regard to her complaint under Section 376 read with Section 120-B of the Indian Penal Code, she has stated that she is a citizen of U.S. and permanently settled in U.S. According to him, no any fundamental right guaranteed under the Constitution of India is violated so far as the petitioner is concerned and on that ground above, the petition itself is not maintainable.
