A case has been registered against me U/S 376, 493 and 417. The girl is a known family member. We know each other for the last 4-5 years. The girl has lodged FIR saying that I promised her marriage and did physical relation with her. At Police station a settlement was done and we married. The FIR was withdrawn.The girl choose to stay at her own residence. However, after two months the girl again lodged an FIR that I have broken the promise and as such the FIR U/S 376 should be registered. Accordingly, the FIR was registered U/S 376, U/S 493 and U/S 417 of IPC. However, at first instance the HC granted me absolute bail on the case. Later, after 4-5 month the girl again filed a mandamus before HC that the police forcibly took her signature and got her married. According to her, this is purely a rape case and the police should do the same. The writ of mandamus is pending. Now, I have come to know that the Police has filed a charge sheet but the case has not been initiated. My question is 1) Can I go for a quashing before the HC 2) Can I marry another girl of my choice. Please suggest.
