DATED : 30th APRIL, 2007 DATED : 30th APRIL, 2007 DATED : 30th APRIL, 2007 P.C.: 1. We have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor for the respondents. 2. Pursuant to our order dated 28.3.2007, Mr Anook Kumar Singh, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Zone-III, Kalyan, has conducted an enquiry and submitted his report dated 25.4.2007. We have carefully perused the report. The report is taken on record and marked "X". Having perused the report, we 2 2 2 are of the considered opinion that the allegations levelled by the petitioners in these petitions are baseless. They are devoid of substance. After referring to the police harassment, the petitioners have prayed in these petitions that they may be permitted to end their lives. In the circumstances of the case, we are of the firm opinion that this prayer is made to bring pressure on the police. We deprecate the conduct of the petitioners. The petitioners are well advised not to indulge in such practice in future. 3. Insofar as Mrs Chhaya Ghate’s grievance is concerned, we are informed by the learned Public Prosecutor that case was registered on her complaint and the accused were arrested. However, they were released on bail by the concerned court. The learned Public Prosecutor states that the investigation is in progress. He states that the investigation will be completed and a final report will be filed within four weeks from today. In view of the above, these petitions are disposed of. (D.B.BHOSALE,J.)
