HC refuses to quash FIR against Man for putting Wife’s Nude Pictures on Social Media

 The High Court of Allahabad recently declined to quash the FIR lodged against a person who was accused of putting nude pictures of his wife on social media.


Dismissing a writ petition filed by one Dhananjaya of Mathura district, a division bench comprising Justices Pankaj Naqvi and Vivek Agarwal said, “From the perusal of the FIR, prima facie it cannot be said that no cognizable offence is made out. Hence, no ground exists for quashing of the FIR or staying the arrest of the petitioner.”


The state counsel had opposed the petition, saying that a commission of cognizable offence is made out against the petitioner. It was also submitted that even allegations of commission of offence are also prima facie made out as there is specific allegation of putting nude pictures of the informant (the wife who had lodged FIR) on WhatsApp. Therefore, merely because petitioner is husband of the informant does not constitute a valid ground to quash the FIR.


Earlier, the lawyer for the petitioner had submitted before the Court that all the allegations made by the informant are false & fabricated. She is wife of the petitioner, who is 6 years elder to him & this is her second marriage, but overlooking all these aspects with a view to coerce the petitioner, a false & concocted grounds have been taken to lodge FIR against him. He also submitted that the FIR has been filed with a view to extract an undue financial gain from the petitioner.


The lawyer for the petitioner further submitted that the informant lodged an FIR against the petitioner on the basis of false & concocted grounds inasmuch as earlier another FIR was lodged against the petitioner.

Rejecting the appeals of the petitioner’s lawyer, the Court observed, “There can be no interference with the investigation or order staying arrest unless cognizable offence is not ex-facie discernible from the allegations contained in the FIR or there is any statutory restriction operating on the power of the police to investigate a case. “


The petitioner had filed this petition seeking issuance of direction for quashing the FIR dated July 6, 2020 registered at Nauhjheel police station of Mathura district with further request to direct the police authorities not to arrest the petitioner during the course of the investigation.


The Court gave this decision on Dec 17.

The Doctrine of Alternative Danger

  THE DOCTRINE OF ALTERNATIVE DANGER Although the plaintiff is supposed to be cautious in spite of the defendant’s Negligence, there can also be certain situations when the plaintiff is justified in taking some threat where some unsafe state of affairs has been created by way of the defendant. The plaintiff may appear as puzzled or worried through a hazardous state of affairs created via the defendant and to store his man or woman or property, or now and again to store a third party from such danger, he may take a choice risk. The law, therefore, lets in the plaintiff to come across a choice danger to shop by himself from the chance created via the defendant. If the path adopted by him results in some harm to himself, his motion in opposition to the defendant will now not fail. The judgment of the plaintiff, however, is not rash. The position can be defined by means of the case of Jones v . Boyce . In that case, the plaintiff used to be a passenger in the defendant’s train and instruct
