Mar 26, 2012: Man jailed for slapping false case

NEW DELHI: A man has been sentenced to one month jail term by a trail court for falsely implicating his daughter's lover in an abduction case as he did not approve of their inter-caste union and forcibly got his daughter married for a second time. 

The case pertains to a recent incident of a runaway girl who went missing from a remand home and it was later discovered that she was remarried at the behest of her father, Kaushal. Kaushal had deposed before the court that his daughter was a minor and had been kidnapped by her lover, Prem Raj. However, the girl surfaced along with her lover and told the court that she was 20-years-old. 

Holding Kaushal guilty of filing a false case, additional sessions judge Kamini Lau said, "This is a classic case exhibiting the manner in which the existing law and rules of procedure have been abused, misused and twisted by Kaushal (complainant/ father of the girl) only to frustrate her marriage with Prem Raj for the sole reason that he belonged to a low caste while she belonged to a high caste." 

"...The entire system was used and abused by Kaushal to achieve his object of frustrating the marriage of his daughter with the accused... where on the one hand she continues to be the legally wedded wife of Prem Raj and on the other hand now resides with Son Pal Singh (the person with whom Kaushal had married her) as his wife," the court stated.
