This an application for leave to file appeal against judgment of acquittal rendered by the learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Rajgurunagar, District: Pune for offences punishable under Sections 325, 504, 506 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. The learned Magistrate found that in the old case of 1997, inspite of summons and several opportunities the first informant did not appear before the Court. On 23rd June, 2010, first informant was present in the Court but did not tender evidence. Only witness examined was A.S.I. Mr. Waman Adagale, who had scribed the report. On that basis the State wants that the order of acquittal should be set aside. It is strange that the State has allowed the request to process such appeal to be filed before this Court. The Law Department of State must ensure that such appeals which are absolutely 2 appln 601 of 2010 meritless are not processed and pushed in the High Court. Leave refused. -Appeal is dismissed. (R. C. CHAVAN, J.)
