No.469/08 (State vs. Arun Kumar Mishra arising out of Case Crime No.348/08 under Section 498A I.P.C. PS Lanka, District Varanasi.

(2.) HEARD learned counsel for the applicant, learned counsel for the complainant learned AGA and perused the record.

(3.) FROM a perusal of the record it is clear that there was not only allegation of demand of dowry and torture but also regarding illicit relation with Bahnoi. Hence she was not allowed to go even at her parental house. Whether the defence version of the applicant or the prosecution version is correct the same has to be examined during trial at appropriate stage. While considering the discharge application and framing of the charge, the matter will not be considered as a mini trial. Since prima facie commission of offence is disclosed, hence at this stage no interference is required with the impugned order rejecting the discharge application.
