Mr.Rishi Bhuta,for the Petitioner.
Mr. A. R. Patil, APP,for the Respondent State.

CORAM :­ M. L. TAHALIYANI,J.

DATE :­DECEMBER 24, 2013.

P. C.:

1 Heard the learned counsel Mr. Rishi Bhuta for the Petitioner and the learned Additional P. P. Mr. Patil, for the State of Maharashtra.

2 The Applicant is accused no.2 in Criminal Case No.1304/SS/2006 pending in the Court of Metropolitan Magistrate, 7th Court, Dadar for the offence punishable under Section 138 of Negotiable Instruments Act. http://evinayak.tumblr.com/ ; https://vinayak.wordpress.com/

The warrant has been issued against the Applicant as he was absent on the date of hearing. The Applicant had applied for cancellation of warrant through his advocate. It is submitted that the application has been rejected by the learned Metropolitan Magistrate on the ground that the Applicant was not present when the application for cancellation of warrant was made before the Magistrate. http://evinayak.tumblr.com/ ; https://vinayak.wordpress.com/

3 The judgments of Andhrapradesh High Court and Delhi High Court were cited before the learned Magistrate. The learned Magistrate without considering those judgments has stated that the said judgments were not binding upon him. http://evinayak.tumblr.com/ ; https://vinayak.wordpress.com/

4 Since the Applicant was ready to appear before the Magistrate after cancellation of warrant and since there was reasonable apprehension in the mind of the Applicant that he might be put beyond the bars if he appeared before cancellation of warrant, the learned Magistrate should have considered the application on merits.

5 In my considered opinion, there is no law that the accused shall personally remain present for cancellation of warrant. If the lawyer makes an application for cancellation of warrant, the same needs to be considered on merits by the learned Magistrate without insisting the for appearance of the Applicant/accused. It is noted by this Court that many Writ Petitions are filed in this Court only because the learned Magistrate straight way take a view that warrant cannot be cancelled unless accused appears before the Court. The view taken by a few of the Magistrates particularly in the city of Bombay, in my opinion, is not correct. It is high time that this Court lets the Magistrate note that the appearance of the applicant/accused is not necessary when application for cancellation of warrant is made.

In the circumstances, I pass the following order:­

(I) The non­bailable warrant issued against the Applicant stands cancelled.

(II) The Applicant shall appear before the Trial Court on next date of hearing.

(III) The copy of this order shall be forwarded to the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Bombay for being circulated to all the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate and Metropolitan Magistrate.

(IV) The Writ Petition stands disposed of.

MYSTERY: Newlywed wife claims ‘dowry harassment’ while husband sees ‘obscene messages’ in her Facebook account

Dailybhaskar.com|Dec 30, 2013, 09:42:00

New Delhi: Interacting with people on Facebook proved to be troublesome for a newlywed woman. At first, her husband threw her out of his home and then accused her. Though, in this case, the woman claimed that she was innocent and alleged her husband and in-laws. According to the woman, her in-laws are torturing and accusing her without any reason. The husband of the woman had objection on his wife talking to other people on the social networking site but the woman said that she only talked to her friends or family members. She does not talk to strangers on Facebook.

Looking at the Facebook profile of the woman, her husband came to know that she had 250 people in her friends’ list. Also, some obscene messages and pictures are posted on her wall. When he asked about the friends’ list to his wife, she explained that they are just her relatives and close friends. Thus, the husband tried to make her understand to stop using Facebook but when she did not listen, he asked her to leave the house.

The woman is a resident of Chandra Nagar in Moradabad area of Uttar Pradesh. She was married to a Ghaziabad based computer engineer a year ago. Everything was going well after a few days of marriage but then the Facebook incident started creating troubles in their relationship. On December 20, the newlywed accused her in-laws of dowry harassment. According to the woman, her husband used to doubt her without any reason. He had objection on her interacting with the relatives too, she said.

On the other side, the accused husband said that his wife has more than 250 friends on Facebook. He said one day when he opened her account, he was stunned. He read many obscene messages in her inbox. When he stopped her from using Facebook, she started fighting with him and went to her parental home. The woman claims that her husband and in-laws threw her out of the house.

Yeah when the whole complaint is false why not add a line saying “….they also asked for dowry standing next to my (girl’s) house ????

It’s become common to drag all dowry cases to a police station nearest to the girls house !!!!

High Court declines to quash dowry harassment case trial

In a major ruling, the Madras High Court has declined to quash a case against a person working in abroad for allegedly subjecting his wife to cruelty. The petitioner contended that the Centre’s prior sanction was required to conduct the trial against him as the offence was stated to have been committed in a foreign country.

Dismissing the plea, Justice P. Devadass said as the offence under Section 498-A (Husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty) IPC was alleged to have been committed in India and also in the US, the Central government sanction to conduct the trial against the husband would not arise. The Judge directed the XVIII Metropolitan Magistrate here to proceed with the trial against the petitioner and his parents.

The wedding of Muralikrishna of Chennai who was employed in the US, took place in April 2010. In her complaint to police, the petitioner’s wife alleged that from the day of marriage she was harassed for dowry.

The first part of her married life was in Chennai. The harassment continued in the US also. The criminal case was now pending against the petitioner and his parents.

Counsel for the petitioner contended that the alleged dowry demand was in the US. So, as per Section 188 Cr.P.C., sanction of the Central government was necessary to try the offence under Section 498-A IPC. Since no sanction had been obtained in the present case, the trial could not be conducted.

Counsel for the petitioner’s wife said she was harassed in India and in the US. So, the Central government’s sanction was not necessary to conduct the trial.

Mr.Justice Devadass said sanction was a condition precedent to conduct the trial with respect to offences committed outside India. In case if an offence was in India and it continued in a foreign country, Centre’s sanction was not necessary. The petitioner had committed the alleged offence in India and also in the US. In such circumstances, requiring Centre’s sanction to conduct the trial would not arise.

Hubby, In-laws Escape After Dowry Plaint

A dowry harassment case was filed against a mechanical engineer and his parents following a complaint from his wife at the All Women Police Station (AWPS) in Villianur on Friday.

According to the complaint filed by Komala (26),an MBA graduate, her husband Santosh Kumar (33),father-in-law Arumugham (62), and mother-in-law Malarkozhi (56) had beaten her up and thrown her out of the marital house demanding dowry. They had told her not to return unless she brings `5 lakh from her parents, who reside in Kottakuppam, adjoining Puducherry, for construction of a house.

Komala got married to Santhosh in 2011 and had given birth to twins eight months ago. Her parents had given 30 sovereigns of gold and `1.5 lakh cash to the groom’s family at the time of marriage.

Soon after the marriage, there had been persistent demands from her husband and in-laws to get money from her parents. She was subjected to continuous assault and in one such incident, she was hospitalised. After the incident, she had complained to the local fishermen panchayat and subsequently at the AWPS which led to police counselling the husband and in-laws and sorting out things.

However, after she gave birth to twins, the situation again came back to square one. She was asked to get `5 lakh from her home and thrown out of her house, with an ultimatum that she shouldn’t return unless she has the money.

After the incident, she filed a complaint with the All Women Police Station in Villianur. Police registered a case under Dowry Prohibition Act and under various sections of IPC for harassment and assault, said AWPS sub inspector Thilagrani. Police said they are on the lookout of the three.
