Chhotu, a dog who has been dragged in a 10 month old case, finally got a

reprieve from a court here from making rounds of courtroom for its

production in a case lodged against his mistress for breaching peace and

tranquillity.

Sub-Divisional Officer Ashwini Dattatrey Thackeray yesterday dropped a case

against Chhotu's mistress Raj Kumari Devi on the ground that the time-frame

fixed under section 107 of CrPC for hearing the case has expired.

The six-month time-frame has already expired in the case and hence it was

being dropped against Raj Kumari Devi, the SDO said.

The court has dropped the case on technical ground and it was never heard on

its merit as the case has been deferred for umpteen times during floods and

Lok Sabha elections since the filing of the case in July last year, said

Dilip Kumar Dipak who defended the dog and his mistress.

The court had ordered that the mongrel would be produced on every date

alongwith his mistress Raj Kumari Devi but since the case stood no longer,

the pet animal would not be required to appear in the court, the counsel

said.

Shambhu Das and Jagdish Das had alleged that the dog was mad and could cause

serious injuries to the residents of Tatmatoli locality of the town area.
