DATED : 01 st DECEMBER, 2006 P.C. :- Petitioner is witness in Sessions Case No.164/1995 wherein accused Vedprakashsinh Birendra Kumar Sinha and Ashokkumar Upendrakumar Sinha were convicted for life for offence punishable under section 302 r/w. 34 of IPC. Now the grievance of the Petitioner is that these accused were granted furlough and since 5 to 6 years, they are absconding. Learned Counsel for the Petitioner states that Petitioner apprehends threat to her life. We ask the learned Counsel as to whether Petitioner has come across the said accused. He said, 'No'. He replied that she does not know the whereabouts of the absconding convicts. We have further asked whether she has received any letter of threat etc. 2 Learned Counsel for the Petitioner replied that she has not received any such threat either by letter or by phone or by any other communication. Therefore, we find that the apprehension of the Petitioner is unreasonable. We refrain to entertain the Petition.

In view of these facts, we do not desire to entertain the Petition. Petition is hereby rejected. (S.R. SATHE, J.) (S.B. MHASE, J.)
