Panaji (Goa):  Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Vijayalaxmi Shivolkar today directed that a show cause notice be issued to Police Sub-Inspector Sandhya Gupta of the North Goa Women Police Station for not complying with the undertaking given to the Court that the Goa BJP Vice-President & Chairman of the OBC Corporation Anil Hoble would be charge-sheeted within two days in the Dowry and assault case which was registered against him for allegedly grievously assaulting and injuring his daughter-in-law and harassing her parents with persistent dowry demands.

The Court directions came after Adv. Aires Rodrigues drew the attention of the JMFC that PSI Sandhya Gupta had on 7th October made a solemn statement before the Court that the charge sheet against Anil Hoble would be filed within two days.

Pointing out that it is almost a month and that the charge sheet has yet not been filed, Adv. Aires Rodrigues submitted that PSI Sandhya Gupta was in clear contempt of Court

JMFC Vijayalaxmi Shivolkar today adjourned to November 18th the petition filed by Suchitra Shirodkar who represented by Adv. Aires Rodrigues has sought Court directions to the police to properly investigate the case as the accused Anil Hoble is politically very influential.

Acting on a complaint filed by Suchitra Shirodkar over the harassment and torture that was being meted out to her daughter, the Women Police Station on 12th July this year booked Anil Hoble, his wife Sandhya and son Milind under Sections 498-A, 323, 506(ii) read with Section 34 of Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 & 4 of Dowry Prevention Act.
