1 APPLN-793.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.793 OF 2011 The State of Maharashtra .... Applicant Vs. Vandana Utpal Goswami & Anr. .... Respondents Ms M.M. Deshmukh, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: AUGUST 04, 2011 P.C: This is an application for leave to file appeal against acquittal of the respondents for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 509, 504 and 506 of the IPC. The first informant was a roommate of accused No.1 Vandana. On 18-2-2010 when she came back to her room, she found it locked from inside and after knocking the door, she found the two accused indulging in indecent acts. In her cross- examination she states that still she continued to be in the room itself. On the next occasion, that is, on 21-2-2010 the first informant claims to have left the room on her own finding the two accused indulging in obscene act inside the room. Howsoever deplorable the acts of 2 APPLN-793.11 accused Nos.1 and 2 may be, since accused No.1 was also a roommate in a room which was not a part of hostel, & which had been hired privately and since it is not shown that accused Nos.1 and 2 indulged in any indecent act in order to intentionally insult or annoy the first informant or to outrage her sense of modesty, it cannot be said that the learned Magistrate erred in acquitting the respondents. Leave refused. Appeal dismissed. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
