Delhi High Court Quashes FIR Against Security Guards
The Delhi High Court has decided to cancel a criminal case against two security guards.
The guards were accused of stopping and manhandling a woman who tried to enter a private office.
The woman is the widow of a senior executive of the VLS Group of Companies.
The court said the guards were just doing their job and that the woman had no right to enter the office.
The court also said that the case was part of a bigger family fight over shares and assets.
The guards were employed just a day before the incident and were targeted because the woman could not get the police to act against her in-laws.
The court found no evidence of any wrongdoing by the guards and canceled all charges against them.
The Delhi High Court quashed an FIR against two security guards accused of wrongfully restraining and outraging the modesty of a woman.
The incident occurred on September 18, 2015, when the woman attempted to enter the VLS Group of Companies' office in East of Kailash.
The court found that the guards were merely discharging their official duties and that the woman had no legal right to enter the office.
The court observed that the case was an abuse of the process of law and was part of a larger family dispute over shares and assets.
The charges under Sections 341, 354, and 34 of the IPC were quashed, and the petitioners were discharged from all offenses.
