State Of Rajasthan, Through Public Prosecutor 2. Victim ----Respondents For Petitioner(s) : None present For Respondent(s) : Mr. Jitendra Singh Rathore, PP JUSTICE ANOOP KUMAR DHAND Order 15/04/2026 1. By way of filing the present criminal misc. petition, a challenge has been led to the impugned FIR No.60/2020 registered with the Police Station Kotwali Bharatpur, District Bharatpur for the offences punishable under Sections 376-D IPC. 2. It has been urged in the present petition and the grounds taken therein that the petitioner has not committed any offence and he has been falsely booked in the instant case. The impugned FIR has been registered with the intention to grab money from the petitioner and other persons. The respondent is in a habit of lodging such kind of FIRs with similar allegations, hence, interference of this Court is warranted. 3. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor on the basis of the factual report received from the SHO Police Station Kotwali, District Bharatpur dated 14.04.2026 that after investigation, a [2026:RJ-JP:15641] (2 of 3) [CRLMP-1333/2021] prima facie case was found to be proved against the petitioner under Section 376 IPC. Since the petitioner is absconding since long, hence, warrants under Section 37 of the Rajasthan Police Act, 2007 were issued against him and thereafter, charge-sheet under Section 299 Cr.P.C. has been submitted against the petitioner as he is still absconding. He has been declared as absconder by the concerned court i.e. the court of the ACJM No.01, Bharatpur vide order dated 03.05.2024. Learned counsel submits that, under these circumstances, interference of this Court is not warranted and the instant petition is liable to be rejected. 4. Heard and considered the submissions made at the Bar and perused the material available on the record. 5. Perusal of the allegations levelled in the impugned FIR reveal commission of cognizable offence. The correctness of the allegations cannot be examined or adjudicated by this Court while exercising its inherent jurisdiction contained under Section 482 Cr.P.C. as certainly, this task has been assigned to the Investigating Agency, who has found involvement of the petitioner in the alleged incident by way of finding a prima facie case against him. 6. Looking to the fact that the petitioner is absconding since the date of registration of the impugned FIR and the warrants under Section 37 of the Rajasthan Police Act, 2007 were issued against him, but inspite of that he is not traceable, hence, a charge-sheet under Section 299 Cr.P.C. was submitted against him on 24.01.2022 before the court of the ACJM No.01, Bharatpur and he has been declared as absconder vide order dated 27.08.2022. [2026:RJ-JP:15641] (3 of 3) [CRLMP-1333/2021] Hence, under these circumstances, the petitioner is not entitled to get any relief as sought in the instant criminal misc. petition. 7. In view of the discussions made hereinabove, the instant criminal misc. petition is liable to be and is hereby rejected. Stay application as well as all applications (pending, if any) stand disposed of. 8. The factual report, so furnished by the concerned SHO, is ordered to be taken on the record.
