State vs Giri Raj Sharma Ors on 7 November, 2023
22. The defence of the accused persons is that the present case has
State Vs. Giri Raj Sharma Ors FIR No. : 1233/2014 PS Hauz Khas
U/s 323/506/509/34 IPC Page no.11 of 13
been filed by the complainant as counter case already filed by Manju Singh
against Pandit Prashna Jha and Sashi Jha to seek revenge. Pandit Prashna Jha
was the husband of the complainant and was priest at the temple. Accused
persons had examined DW1 Sashi Bhushan and DW2 Rohit Singh in this
regard. In her cross-examination PW1 Amira Devi had admitted that there
police complaints filed against each other in PS Hauz Khas. The accused Giri
Raj had stated in his examination u/s 313 Cr.P.C. that he had given evidence in
case FIR No. 1206/14 against the complainant and in the said case
complainant's husband and her son had gone to custody for 20-25 days. Since
the complainant had admitted that there were prior complaints filed against
each other, probably for the said reason she must be falsely deposing against
the accused persons merely to implicate them.
