..(1).. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2147 OF 2008 Kiran Raosaheb Dhakane ..Applicant. Versus The State of Maharashtra. ..Respondent. .... Mr.Shirish Gupte, Sr.Counsel, for the applicant. Mr.K.V.Saste, APP, for the State. .... CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATED : 15th July, 2008. DATED : 15th July, 2008. DATED : 15th July, 2008. P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Advocate for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No.105 of 2007 of Sinnar police station, Nashik. The said case is mainly under Section 306 of IPC. 3. It is the prosecution case that the deceased Uttam had taken a loan from a financial institution in which the applicant was working. The applicant was working as a Collection Manager. Further case of the prosecution is that as Uttam did not repay his loan he was harassed by the present applicant for return of loan and on account of the harassment Uttam ..(2).. committed suicide on 12.6.2008. 4. It is seen that Uttam had taken loan not only from the financial institution, in which the applicant was working, but also from many other financial institutions. As far as the loan taken by Uttam from the financial institution where the applicant was working is concerned, it is seen that the loan was settled on 2.6.2008. However, Uttam has committed suicide on 12.6.2008. Uttam left behind a suicide note. In the said suicide note, there is no reference to the applicant or the financial institution in which the applicant is working. In the said suicide note, Uttam stated that he was committing the suicide on account of medical ailments and on account of financial difficulties. As stated earlier, there is no reference to the applicant or financial institution in the suicide note. Infact in the suicide note, Uttam stated that nobody should be blamed for his suicide or troubled on account of his suicide. 5. The learned APP has pointed out that the witnesses have stated that on 25.5.2008 Uttam was assaulted by the applicant and threats were given by ..(3).. the applicant on account of non-payment of the loan. He pointed out that this clearly shows the involvement of the present applicant. However, it is seen that the said incident took place on 25.5.2008, thereafter the loan was settled on 2.6.2008. Hence there was no question of Uttam committing suicide on 12.6.2008 on account of the harassment by the applicant for non-payment of the loan. Looking to the material on record, it cannot be said that the applicant was responsible in any manner for the suicide of Uttam. 6. In this view of the matter, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. 7. In the event of arrest, the applicant - Kiran Raosaheb Dhakane to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.30,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount. The applicant shall report to Sinnar police station,Nashik once in a week till filing of the charge-sheet and thereafter once in a month till disposal of the trial. 8. Criminal Application is disposed of accordingly. ..(4).. (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.) (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.) (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.)
