FARMAN Vs. STATE OF U.P.

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned Counsel for the applicant and learned Additional Government Advocate. This application has been filed on be­half of the husband Farman in case crime No. 564 of 2007, under sections 498-A/316 IPC and 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, po­lice station Mansoori, District Ghaziabad.

(2.) THE allegations in the FIR, which was lodged in the form of an application under section 156(3) of the Code of Crimi­nal Procedure were that the applicant Far­man, his first wife Asia, Begam, Shaukeen, Momin, Sajda and Idris caught hold of Shahnaz and poured kerosene oil and set her on fire and within fifteen minutes a child was born and died and that is why the charge under section 316 IPG was also made.

(3.) I find little reason at this juncture to disbelieve this most natural statement of the victim and failed to understand as to why she would invent such a story when she was 80% burnt.
