2. The allegations in the FIR indicates that the accused and the defacto complainant stayed together in a room and had liquor, after fully intoxicated she was subjected to rape. Though the allegations mainly
directed against the A1, the fact remains that all stayed together, whether offence of rape was committed or not has to be investigated properly and all these factual aspects cannot be decided in this petition and this Court cannot conduct roving enquiry or mini trial. In this regard, it is relevant to note that the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Gunmala Sales Private Limited Vs. Anu Mehta and others reported in (2015) 1 SCC 103 has held that High Court cannot conduct a mini trial or roving enquiry in a 482 petition.
3. Such view of the matter, at this stage, this Court is not inclined to quash the FIR. Accordingly, this petition stands dismissed. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petition stands quashed. 06.10.2025 dhk Neutral Citation:Yes/No 2/4 https://www.mhc.tn.gov.in/judis
