RAJENDRA NATH DATT Vs. UNION TERRITORY, CHANDIGARH

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is a petition under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C. praying for quashing of FIR No. 188 dated 15.6.2005 registered under the provisions of Sections 406, 498-A, 506 of the IPC read with Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, at Police Station Manimajra, Chandigarh.

(2.) RAJENDRA Nath - petition No. 1 was married to the complainant - Roma Datt on 16.11.1986 at Karnal. The petitioner Nos. 2 and 3 are parents of Rajendra Nath Datt. The FIR under the aforesaid provisions of law, at the behest of the complainant, even though after several years of marriage, reflects the ill-treatment meted out to the complainant.

(3.) ON the other hand, learned counsel for respondent No. 2 contends that a perusal of the FIR with a specific reference to para Nos. 12 to 16 thereof clearly reveals that even if offence of Section 406 is not made out to have been committed at Chandigarh, yet the provisions of Section 498-A are clearly attracted and establish the commission of offence at Chandigarh.
