already been rejected.

3. The petitioner has been made accused in a case

registered under Sections 498A, 323 and 313 read with 34 of the

Indian Penal Code as also Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition

Act. In the first information report, it is alleged that the informant

was married to the petitioner on 20.01.2010. Immediately after

marriage, he started demanding Rs.1,50,000/- and a motorcycle and

for non-fulfillment of the same, the informant was mercilessly

assaulted on several occasions, as a result of which a pregnancy of

two months got terminated.

4. The allegations made in the first information report were

investigated by the police. In course of investigation witnesses

examined under Section 161(3) of the Cr.P.C. corroborated the

allegations made by the informant and on completion of the

investigation, police submitted charge-sheet against the petitioner

and others.

5. Since the case was triable by the court of session, the

learned Magistrate committed the case to the court of session. At the

stage of framing of charge, an application seeking discharge was

filed by the petitioner which was dismissed by the court below vide

impugned order dated 07.10.2017 on the ground that there is

sufficient material on record to proceed against the petitioner.

6. Learned counsel appearing for the State being assisted

by the learned counsel for the informant submitted that by now,

charges have already been framed and the case is pending for trial.

7. Having perused the materials available on record, I find

that there is sufficient ground to proceed against the petitioner in the

instant matter and in that view of the matter, if the court below has

rejected the application filed under Section 227 of the Cr.P.C. by the

petitioner, no fault can be found with such order.

8. Accordingly, the application, being devoid of any merit,

is dismissed.
