The Supreme Court has refused to cancel the FIR filed against the former judge, who has been accused of sexually abusing his own daughter. The Supreme Court judge was surprised to hear the allegations of the daughter.
According to the report of the news agency PTI-language, a bench of Justice Prashant Kumar Mishra and Justice Manmohan asked the petitioner, ‘Daughter is making allegations. This is a shocking case. The petitioner is a judicial officer and this is a very serious charge. It is surprising that the daughter has made allegations. He must have been shocked for a lifetime. How can this be a case of cancellation of FIR ‘
The former judge had filed a petition in the Supreme Court against an order of the Bombay High Court of April 15, 2025, which was rejected by the bench. The High Court had upheld the allegations of the subordinate court. The petitioner alleges that his wife has been living separately due to the marital dispute for a long time and now made false allegations to trap him. However, the court refused to accept the appeal of the former judge.
The appellant also argued in his application that the wife also harassed her father, due to which he committed suicide. Justice Manmohan said on this, ‘We do not want to fall into all this. He can also commit suicide due to these works of his son (judge).
The former judge’s lawyer argued, “My whole life was ruined due to his marital problems.” The lawyer said, ‘His (former judge’s) father committed suicide. The complaint was made much later and it was never mentioned during earlier legal proceedings.
The bench paid more attention to serious allegations under the POCSO Act against the former judge instead of these arguments by the lawyer.
The case came to light in Bhandara, Maharashtra on January 21, 2019 after the alleged incidents of misconduct between May 2014 and 2018. A charge sheet has been filed in this case, but formal charges are yet to be framed in the case.
The former judge has been charged under Section 7, 8, 9 (L), 9 (n) and 10 of the Poxo Act, besides attacking her with the intention of hurting the dignity of the woman under Section 354 under Section 354 of the then Indian Penal Code (IPC).
