JUDGMENT 1. Though respondent No. 2 is served, no appearance is made on her behalf. 2. Leave granted. 3. We have heard the appellant-in-person as well as the learned counsel for the State. 4. The brief facts leading to present appeal are that respondent No. 2 had filed Criminal Case No. 407 of 2011 against the appellant alleging offence punishable under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). After the trial, the appellant was acquitted by the trial Court. 5. Even when the appellant was acquitted, the trial Court made the following remarks: "21. In the light of the facts discussed in all the aforesaid paras, this Court is constrained to say that, prosecution failed to prove the guilt of the accused. Prosecution cannot examine the witnesses which caused and the admissions of the informant in her cross-examination made to frustrate the case of the informant. By this, this Court is not of the view that, the case is false and the accused persons are made to be arrested groundlessly. In the light of all this, the finding on the point for determination as such is given and the following order is passed." 6. The appellant filed writ petition in the High Court for expunging the remarks recorded by the trial Court in the aforesaid paragraph whereby the trial Court observed that "this Court is not of the view that the case is false and the accused persons are made to be arrested groundlessly". The High Court has, by the impugned order, dismissed the writ petition of the appellant stating that the aforesaid remarks cannot be called as strictures against the accused and it is only an observation made to avoid giving of directions to the complainant to pay compensation. 7. We do not understand the rationality behind the aforesaid observation of the High Court. We also fail to understand as to how the aforesaid remarks could be made by the trial Court when the trial Court, on merits, found that no case under Section 498A IPC was made out against the appellant who was acquitted of the charge. 8. Therefore, this appeal is allowed and the following observations contained in paragraph 21 of the judgment of the trial Court are hereby expunged: "By this, this Court is not of the view that the case is false and the accused persons are made to be arrested groundlessly." 9.
