DATE :

22nd FEBRUARY 2018 P.C.

The above Writ Petition has been filed for quashing of the FIR being No.202 of 2015 registered with the MIDC Police Station, Thane for the offences punishable under Sections 376, 420 of the Indian Penal Code. The quashing is sought on the ground of there being a consent between the parties. The FIR being one under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code which is an offence against the Society, we do not deem it appropriate to exercise our writ jurisdiction, even if there is a consent between the parties as this is not a case where post lodging of the FIR the parties are married each other and happily living. The above Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. [SANDEEP K SHINDE, J] [R.M.SAVANT, J] lgc
