G. Sagar Suri And Anr vs State Of Up. And Ors on 28 January, 2000
5.2 Mr. Barot further contends that considering the fact
that the dispute primarily involves the in-laws of the
complainant, the applicant, being the complainant's
father, was falsely implicated in the litigation.
5.3 He has relied on the judgment of the Hon'ble Apex
Court in the case of G. Sagar Suri and Another versus
State of U.P. and Others reported in (2000) 2 SCC 636,

which will not come in the way of this Court to exercise
the powers under Section 482 of the Cr.P.C.
5.4 Hence, he prays to allow the application by
exercising the inherent powers under Section 482 of the
Criminal Procedure Code, 1973 in view of the judgment
of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of State of
Haryana V/s Bhajan Lal reported in AIR 1992 SC 604.
6.1 Per contra, Mr. Maunish T. Pathak, the learned
advocate for respondent No. 2 (the complainant), strongly
opposes the prayers made in the present petition and the
submissions made at the bar. He has drawn the Court's

complainant. He has annexed a copy of the order passed
by the trial court at Exhibit 46 in Sessions Case No. 46
of 2021, wherein the trial court, in its order dated
21.4.2022, dismissed the discharge application filed by the
applicant. Mr. Pathak has highlighted the relevant
observations made by the trial court and argued that,
upon reviewing the available evidence, the trial court
found that the applicant called and sent threatening text
messages to the complainant, indicating an intention to

harm her. The evidence presented prima facie establishes
the involvement of the accused-applicant.
6.2 Furthermore, Mr. Pathak has emphasized that the
charge-sheet has been filed, and specific roles have been
attributed to the applicant. Considering that the
applicant is the father of the complainant, his natural
conduct should have been to protect his daughter if
wrongdoings were being committed by the in-laws.
However, the tenor of the F.I.R. suggests that the
applicant played an active role in the commission of the
offence by instigating the in-laws.
