The case of the prosecution as per the defacto complainant Lathamani is that she got married to one Venkatesh 9 years earlier and they got one male child and due to dispute with her husband, they are living separately. At that time, the petitioner got introduced to the defacto complainant and in the guise of solving the problem between the defacto complainant and her husband, she had taken the child from the defacto complainant and handed over to her husband and had also taken the articles worth about Rs.5,00,000/- from her.

Committee and the said Welfare Committee has also given a finding that since the defacto complainant had illicit intimacy with one Jeeva, the custody of the child was handed over to said Venkatesh, while so, a false complaint has been given against the petitioner.
