more-in A Delhi court has dismissed a revision petition by a woman seeking a direction to the North Avenue police in Lutyens’ Delhi to lodge a rape case against BJP MP from Gujarat K.C. Patel. A Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) had earlier dismissed her application for directing the police to lodge the case on the basis of Action Taken Report (ATS) filed by the probe agency on a court direction in which they said that “the intention of the petitioner was not to register the FIR but to extort money by misusing the judicial system”. The ATS also said that the woman did not support the allegations made in the FIR in her statement before a Metropolitan Magistrate , and that she was fined ?1,000 by a court when she backed out on her allegations made in the statement under Section 164 CrPC. The woman had challenged the MM order before a Sessions court. The MP had also lodged a counter case against the woman alleging that she had extorted ?1 lakh from him, and she was further making a demand of ?7 crores on the pretext of registering a false case against him. “Taking into consideration that petitioner [woman] has lodged FIRs of similar nature against other MPs and other officers and later on back-tracked from her statement given to the police, I am of the view that the MM has rightly taken into consideration the facts of the case. The revision petition filed by the petitioner is without any merits and same is hereby dismissed,” Additional Sessions judge N.K. Malhotra said.
