Vinith v. State by Inspector of Police

O R D E R Pursuant to the order passed by this Court on 10.06.2026, the petitioner's sentence was suspended for a limited period of 30 days to facilitate the registration of the marriage before the Registrar of Marriages and to report compliance before this Court for further orders.

¶2Today, when the matter was taken up for hearing, the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that although the petitioner was ready to marry the victim, it was the victim and her mother who were not cooperating for the marriage.

¶3Per contra, the learned Government Advocate strongly opposed the petitioner's contention and filed a status report received from the Inspector of Police, Mangalamedu Police Station. It was submitted that the victim was enquired by the respondent police and had given a statement stating that, although the petitioner had represented before this Court that he was willing to marry her and take care of both the victim and the child, after his release on interim bail, he had completely changed his stand. Despite several attempts made by the victim and the police, the petitioner not come forward for the marriage instead became emboldened to state that he would not marry the victim, irrespective of the consequences. The handwritten statement given by the victim has been produced by the Inspector of Police, Mangalmedu All Women Police Station, is extracted hereunder:

¶4In view of the above, this Court finds that the petitioner has failed to honour the undertaking given before this Court and has breached the condition on which the sentence was suspended. Consequently, the interim suspension of sentence granted for a period of 30 days stands hereby cancelled. The respondent police are directed to take the petitioner into custody forthwith produce and handover to the Superintendent of Prison where he was detained, to undergo the remaining period of sentence.

¶5Accordingly, this Criminal Miscellaneous Petition stands dismissed.
