Supreme Court adjourns hearing on plea against quashed FIR by Bihar Police woman officer accusing IPS officer of rape.
The Supreme Court on Monday (January 20, 2025) posted after two weeks the hearing on the plea filed by a Bihar Police woman officer against a Patna High Court order that quashed the FIR against an IPS officer whom she accused of rape on the false promise of marriage.
A Bench of Justices Pankaj Mithal and Ahsanuddin Amanullah adjourned the matter observing the petition required certain corrections.
The Court asked advocate Ashwani Kumar Dubey, appearing for the woman, to carry out the amendments.
The woman is currently posted as a Superintendent of Police (SP) with Patna CID.
The plea argued the High Court order passed on September 19, 2024, was “perverse, devoid of any legal merits, beyond the facts of the case” besides being “contrary to the settled law”.
The FIR was lodged against IPS officer Pushkar Anand and his parents at Mahila police station in Bihar’s Kaimur on December 29, 2014 on a complaint by the woman officer.
While Mr. Anand was booked for rape and criminal intimidation, among others, his parents were booked for abetting the crime.
