KRISHNA SWAROOP MATHUR Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) 'tears of widow', Savitri Devi, the mother; "cheers of daughter", Meera; a prayer for anticipatory bail by the 'lover cum alleged husband' Krishna accused, in a criminal case of abduction launched by the mother-complainant, provided pathetic and not romantic scene in this court, which was packed with visitor and spectators to watch the demeanour of the girl Meera and hear her statement for making the option between the mother on the one side and the alleged abductor pro claming to be lover and husband on the other side. Meera's blank blunt refusal even to talk to mother Savitri Devi, inspite of the court's desire marked the climax of the impact of the alleged 'love, romance' or coercion, that seemingly exhibited the victory of sex emotional surcharged mind of Meera and defeat of maternal pious emotional tearful appeal of God cursed widow mother.

(2.) AN important revelation of the case is that the alleged marriage has not been registered under the Special Marriage Act or other law, but someone in Arya Samaj Adarsh Nagar, Jaipur has issued a certificate as if he has commercialised the great reformist movement of the great Maharshi Dayanand by running a "marriage Beurau' for providing evidence in cases of disputed marriages and alleged abductions.

(3.) THE whole night of 23rd March, 1981 was spent in searching the girl Meera. It was revealed that Krishna Swaroop, [applicant, s/o Omkar Swaroop, was also missing from his house on that day. THE complainant and her son continued their search at Delhi also. Ultimately, on inquiry from Krishna Swaroop's bouse, Reghunandan Swaroop, brother of Onkar Swaroop Mathur told the complainant that by this time, the girl might have married. Babulal, Driver of Car No. RSK 160, gave out to brother of the complainant that on 23rd March, 1981 boy living in front of house of the complainant and one more boy have gone to Jaipur in his car, and they left the car at Chhoti Chopar. THE Driver also told the mother that Krishna Swaroop has taken the girl by threats. On this, the investigation started under Section 363 I. P. C.
