Dear Sir,
FIR was lodge on 29-10-2013 us 376 & 493 by ex girl freind. Anticipatory Bail allowed against PR bond from Kolkata High court on 18th Dec 2013. The girl refuses the Medical examination. No Pregnancy case happened ever. Police got some document from a hotel where the Girl & Boy were spent 2-3 hours almost 3-4 tears back. The girl's age is 28. She is MA, BED. Lots of people knew about their love relation but there is no prove of intercourse except that hotel incident.Till the date Charge sheet not yet filled by the IO. In the mean time IO has changed in the month of Dec 2013.

Is there any good chance for quashing the FIR? 
Or we should wait till the chargesheet to quash the same?
Or should we face the trail?

Kindly Suggest..............

Since the girl refused to undergo medical examination there is no case left against the accused. The accused should immediately move for quashing. There is no need to wait till the chargesheet.

1. DO not worry, the courts have off late become matures enough to hold consensual sex not amounting to rpe even if done on promise of marriage.

2. Your FIR needs to be perused whether there is allegations of exercise of force is there or it is done on promise of marriage.

3. For quashing medical test whether done or not is of no help.

4, As far as Calcutta high court is concerned, do wait till submission of charge sheet. At FIR stage the court has long history of not intervening at all in quashing cases.

After the Nirbhaya case the rape laws have been amended. At FIR stage usually courts will not interfere in entertaining quashing for offence under section 376 of IPC. It is better you wait till the filing of charge sheet. Thereafter if you have got very good grounds you can take a chance in the High Court.

Hi,

you can file the FIR after the charge sheet, if the medical examination has not been conducted ,police will not be able to present anything helpful to their case .

Dear Querist

Quashing petition will not be beneficial, it will be better to fight the case on merit.

Don't go far quashin of fir at this stage. In the absence of medical exam you can argue at the charge stage to delete 376.
