HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GURVINDER SINGH GILL Present:- Mr. Rohit Mittal, Advocate, for the petitioner. (Proceedings conducted through video conferencing) ***** GURVINDER SINGH GILL, J . (Oral) The petitioner seeks quashing of FIR No.47, dated 8.8.2020, Police Station Women Police Station, District Mahendergarh, under Sections 420, 498-A, 406, 493, 494, 495, 496, 323, 506, 500, 120-B, 107 of IPC, wherein the allegations against the accused, apart from the allegations pertaining to demand of dowry and harassment, are to the effect that the complainant's husband had committed an offence of bigamy. The allegations are to the effect that while the marriage of the complainant was solemnized on 2.6.2016 with accused Satya Parkash but MOHAN SINGH 2020.10.01 20:15 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document

- 2 - CRM-M-30048-2020 (O&M) complainant later on came to know that said Satya Paraksh was already married and had solemnized marriage on 19.12.2012 with one Swati Verma and also had a son out of the said wedlock who was born on 15.11.2017. The petitioners who are the parents, brothers and sisters of complainant's husband seek quashing of the FIR mainly on the ground that they had not raised any demand of dowry and that they, in any case cannot be held to have committed any offence under Section 494 IPC and that the previous marriage if any of the Satya Parakash was not in their knowledge. I have considered the aforesaid submissions. The matter is still at the stage of investigation. In these circumstances without commenting anything as regards merits of the case, the petition is dismissed with liberty to the petitioner to raise all the pleas as have been raised before the investigating agency and also before the trial Court in case any of the petitioner is challaned.

The petition is disposed of accordingly.

It is clarified that dismissal/disposal of this petition shall not be construed to be an expression on merits of the main case.
