Smt.Priyanka Atul Mishra … Petitioner
Vs.
Shri Atul Lalmohan Mishra Ors. … Respondents

Mr.M.J. Bhatt for the Petitioner
Mr.S.S. Pednekar, APP, for the Respondent – State

CORAM: Mrs.MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.

DATED: FEBRUARY 12, 2019

P.C.:

1. This Writ Petition is directed against the order dated

12.4.2018 passed by the learned Sessions Judge, Thane in

Criminal Appeal No.246 of 2014 rejecting the application filed for

leading additional evidence in appeal filed under section 391 of the

Criminal Procedure Code. The petitioner/appellant is the original

complainant who has filed a criminal case against the

respondent/original accused under sections 494 and 498A of the

Indian Penal Code. The respondents/accused are acquitted from

all the charges by the learned Judge against which the Criminal

Appeal No.246 of 2014 was filed by the original complainant i.e.,

the petitioner. The application was moved under section 391 of the

Criminal Procedure Code that the original complainant be allowed

to lead evidence of photocopy of the voters’ list wherein the two

names i.e., of the respondent/original accused and his second wife

are mentioned. The said application was rejected by the learned

Sessions Judge and hence, this Writ Petition.

2. The learned Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that if

at all the petitioner is allowed to lead evidence of the said voters’

list then, she will be in a position to prove the fact of second

marriage. He further submitted that this will enable the petitioner

to lead evidence of second marriage by calling the concerned

witnesses.

3. Perused the order passed by the learned Sessions Judge;

considered the nature of offence and the evidence which the

petitioner intends to lead. In view of section 494 of the Indian

Penal Code, strict proof of second marriage is required. Hence,

only photocopy of the voters’ list cannot be considered to be a

relevant evidence on this point. The reasoning given by the

learned Sessions Judge is found correct and legal. No interference

is required. The petition is summarily dismissed.

(MRIDULA BHATKAR, J.)
