MONIA Vs. SOHAN SINGH DHESI

JUDGEMENT

(1.) This is a second revision.

(2.) CHALLENGE made is to the order dated 14.5.1999 passed by Sessions Judge, Gurdaspur, accepting the revision filed by Sohan Singh Dhesi and Rupinder Kaur - respondents (herein referred as 'respondents'), and ordering their discharge in case under Sections 498-A, 323 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code.

(3.) THE statement made by the petitioner does not inspire confidence. It appears that she exaggerated the allegations in order to take revenge from the respondents family. In his statement dated 19.9.1996, M.S. Hundal father of the petitioner has not attributed any over act to the respondents and has also not levelled any allegations of demand of dowry or mis-appropriation thereof. The case is full of contradictions and exaggerations and, thus, no reliance can be placed on the testimonies of M.S. Hundal and the petitioner, qua the respondents.
