It therefore essential delay in Lodging FIR report should be satisfactorily examined 13) The Petitioner submits that there no no bad antecedent or complaint against the accused 14) The Accused further submits that they had falsely implicated in the case and they had not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution against the applicant/ accused is after thought false and concocted. Similarly there are no reasonable grounds to believed that they had committed the alleged offence/ and or involved in anyways. 15) The Accused further submits that even on perusal of the FIR there no cogent Evidence so as to connect the petitioner with alleged offence. Similarly there is no specific role or overt act attributed to the accused nor any of the document alleged recovered by the Police are capable of implicating them in commission of alleged offence. A statement casually given is not FIR. 16) The Accused further submits that Petitioner no .1 ought to have record statement of family doctor viz Dr Anita Shinde and Accused no 1 and Petitioner no .2 before lodging FIR under section 313 of IPC as there no statement of Doctor was recorded by the Petitioner no .1 as Gynecologist only can do MTP or prescribe for pills for termination of pregnancy and the above said doctor was just a Homepath and as such there is no any truth in the allegation leveled against the petitioner no .1 in alleged FIR. The accused further states that even in Chargesheet the petitioner no .1 had not recorded the statement of Dr Anita Shinde. 17) The Accused further states that the accused no .1 had not done any fair investigation in the present case and the Petitioner no .1 is merely pressurizing the accused no .1 inpolice inquiry to accept the guilt which he had never done and as such there is no violation of Fundamental Rights of personal Liberty. 18) The Accused further states that they are merely victim of circumstances and they are no way concerned with the said offence .

Cannot be attracted against the present accused 21) The Accused submits that as per Section 498A of Indian Penal Code - Husband or relatives of husband of a women subjecting her to cruelty shall be subject to imprisonment for term of 3 years and shall also be liable to fine. The Accused submits that there is no demand of dowry ever made by the Accused from the Petitioner No. 2 or Petitioner No. 2 had not filed any documentary evidence in order to prove her contention of dowry demand and as Accused No. 1 and r Petitioner No. 2 were residing separately and hence, there is no any material on record to prove Section 498 A of Indian Penal Code against any of the Accused 2 to 4 as alleged by the Petitioner no .2 . 22) The Accused submits that the basic ingredient to level the offence of miscarriage against the petitioners no. 2 is missing in the case. Even during the police. investigation police had not even checked about the medical certificates in order to prove the M.T.P. of the Petitioner No. 2. The Petitioner No. 1 had not even checked with the provisions of Section 312 of Indian Penal Code along with its explanation as follows: S.312 of Indian Penal Code Whoever voluntary causes a woman with child to miscarry, shall, if such miscarriage be not caused in good faith for the purpose of saving the life of the woman, be punished with the imprisonment of either description for a term which may be extended to three years, or with fine,or with both and if the woman be quick with child, shall be punished with imprisonment of either description for a term which may be extended to seven years and shall also be liable to fine. Explaination: A woman who causes herself to miscarry, is within the meaning of this section.* And as such the Petitioner No. 2 herself is responsible for her own miscarriage which fact the Petitioner No. 1 had not considered at all and as such the investigation done by the concerned Investigation Officer is not at all fair and merely just to involve the accused without their fault as the offence has to be registered against the Petitioner No. 2 and not against the Accused . A The Accused states that the FI.R. is only an afterthought and has been registered after more than 3years and with the difference in statement of the Petitioner No. 2's domestic violence complaint with certain vested interest 23) The Accused states that there is not a single complaint made by the Petitioner No. 2 against her Accused or his parents since year 2013 to till 19/1/2021.The Accused states that FIR is completely false and politically motivated to silence the Accused and to dance the Accused as per the tune of the Petitioner No. 2. That on a bare reading of the facts narrated in the F.I.R. it is evident that it does not narrate the commission of cognizable offence when the miscarriage is done by the Petitioner No. 2 as she herself submits in para No. 10 of her domestic violence application as follows :Paragraph No. 10 The applicant No. 1 further states that when the applicant No. 1 doing job for the purpose to earn money to satisfy the need of respondent No. 1 andother respondents they were taking all the salary of the applicant No. 1 and the respondent did notallow the applicant to retain few monev out of hersalary for her personal use or expenses andwhenever applicant No. 1 tried to retained smaller amount of money from her salary for her own expenses, respondent used to beat me just like a slave, and in the meantime again applicant again conceived, and at this time again respondent No. 1forced me to go for MT.P. (Medical Terminationof Pregnancy) against my wish and desire Applicant No. 1 further states that the respondent No. 1 tortured and pressurized to go for M.T.P.against my will/wish, and again the applicant inorder to save her life went for M. T.P./) 24) The FIR has been registered mala fide so that Petitioner No.2 can threaten the Accused and prevent him from exercising his fundamental right to freedom of speech and expression. If Petitioner No. 1s allowed to conduct investigation based on such blatant abuse of police power it will have effect on Accused exercise of his right of freedomof expression. 25) The police authority had not properly investigated the present matter by conducting fair inquiry with the alleged Doctor before filing of F.I.R. 26) That the entire complaint is based on merely words which no prudent man could ever believed
Under this circumstances it humbly prayed that
ThE Hon’ble Court May discharge the Accused no .1 TO 4
