relationship with her brother-in-law (Jija Ji) and when the truth
came into the picture, she committed suicide. Learned counsel
submits that a representation in this regard was also submitted
before the Investigating Officer, but no heed was paid, hence
under these compelling circumstances, the petitioners have
approached this Court with the aforesaid prayer.
3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor opposed the prayer
made by learned counsel for the petitioners.
4. Heard and considered the submissions made at the Bar and
perused the material available on record.
5. Perusal of the allegations levelled in the impugned FIR
reveals commission of cognizable offence and the correctness of
the allegations cannot be examined by this Court while exercising
inherent powers contained under Section 482 Cr.P.C. This Court
cannot conduct fishing and roving enquiry to find out the truth
behind the allegations levelled against the petitioners. Certainly,
this task has been assigned to the Investigating Officer.
6. Considering the over all facts and circumstances of the case,
this Court deems it just and proper to dispose of the instant
petition, granting liberty to the petitioners to file fresh
representation. It is expected from the Investigating Officer to
consider the same and submit the conclusion report of
investigation under Section 173 Cr.P.C. before the Competent
Court, strictly in accordance with law.
7. This order has its effect only if the investigation is lying
pending and in case, charge-sheet has already been submitted
against the petitioners then he would be at liberty to take all these

grounds and the defence before the Trial Court, at the appropriate
stage of the trial.
8. Accordingly, the instant criminal misc. petition stands
disposed of. The stay application and all pending applications, if
any, also stand disposed of.
