RIMJHU KHAN Vs. STATE OF RAJASTHAN

JUDGEMENT

(1.) PERUSED the file. It appears that according to the office report notice of non -petitioner No. 2, namely, Jaswant Singh, Station House Officer of Police Station, Looni has been returned unserved. There is no allegation against Jaswant Singh in his personal capacity nor any relief has been sought against him. He has been impleaded in his official capacity as Station House Officer of the Police Station, Looni. Learned Public Prosecutor is directed to accept the notice of Jaswant Singh and he accepts the same. Hence the service is complete.

(2.) HEARD the learned Counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor. The petitioners have prayed that the investigation which is being conducted by the Station House Officer of the Police Station. Looni in respect of FIR No. 107/1997 be quashed. According to the petitioner, Mohan Lal S/0 Poona Ram Lodged FIR No. 107/1997 at Police Station, Looni on 13.8.1997 and alleged there in that on 12.8.1997 at about 7.00 P.M. when his wife went to the shop of Chandra Ram to purchase sugar, Ghewar Ram, Ladu Ram, Oma Ram, Jagga Ram, Prakash and Vena Ram who were person at the shop made obscene jester before her as a consequence there of she returned to her house with tears in her eyes. Soon after that Mohan Lal and Chhagan Lal went to the shop where the above mentioned incident had occurred and started enquiring into the matter. At that time they were attacked and injuries were inflicted on them with stones and lathis. Mohan Lal fell on the ground on account of injuries received by him. It was further alleged that Ghewar Ram, Ladu Ram, Oma Ram, Jagga Ram, Prakash, Ramesh and Chandra Ram were person who inflicted injuries. It was also alleged in the FIR that Mohan Lal and his brother Chhagan Lal, soon after the above incident rushed towards their house and after entering the house they closed the door from inside. Above named assailants chased Mohan Lal and Chhagan Lal and when the door of the house was closed from inside they hit the door with lathins for sometime and then they went away. On the basis of the allegations made by Mohan Lal in his report dated 13.8.1997 the Police registered a case under Sections 143, 341, 323 and 354 IPC.

(3.) THE facts as have been stated by the petitioner, show that the incident which was narrated in the FIR No. 107/1997 occurred in the evening of 12.8.1997 where as the incident which is alleged in the complaint made by Chhagan Lal to the Dy. Superintendent of Police (Rural), Jodhpur had taken place on 13.8.1997. There does not appear to be any nexus between these two separate incidents. So far as FIR No. 107/1997 is concerned it is in respect of the incident which is alleged to have occurred in the evening of 12.8.1997 and bare reading of FIR shows that none of the petitioners are alleged to have been involved in that incident. There is, therefore, no ground worth the name to quash the FIR No. 107/1997.
