BHAGWANIDEVI Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is an application for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of Cr.P.C.

(2.) THE application is opposed apart from the Public Prosecutor, also by Shri Mridual Jain, appearing on behalf of the complainant, who is brother of the deceased -wife.

(3.) IT will be therefore, seen that the police has chosen to file challan only against one person from the several persons named in the FIR lodged in the police station on telephone by Satish. Satish reached the village Ratan Nagar and lodged a written report with the police that his sister has been tortured to death for dowry by the persons named in the complaint, and therefore, they should be penalised. When the challan was filed against only one person, an application was moved by the complainant Satish seeking action against the alleged persons. However, later on, he withdrew the application and chose to file a fresh and seperate complaint before the competent criminal Court against all the present applicants. He, therefore withdrew the prayer made before the Magistrate for taking cognizance.
