Mr.N.H.Borade, APP for the respondent in both the applications. 2 Mr.G.A.Gadhe, Advocate h/f Mr.P.R.Katneshwarkar, Advocate for the complainant ... CORAM: A.V.NIRGUDE,J. Date : 23rd June, 2009. COURT'S ORDER: 1. Both these applications can be decided by this common order because the applicants in both the applications are seeking anticipatory bail in Crime No.64/2009 registered by Kinwat Police Station, Dist.Nanded, on 18th May, 2009. The applicants are charged under Sections 306, 506 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. The son of the complainant committed suicide some time during 15th and 16th May, 2009. The complainant alleged that the applicants, especially the applicant Ramkishan threatened the deceased that he would kill him if the deceased did not refund his amount etc.. The complainant admitted that he and his son owed lots of amount to various creditors like the applicants. The applicants were repeatedly demanding their amount back. It is alleged that because of the pressure and humiliation due to the persuasion of the applications, the deceased committed suicide by consuming poisonous substance. Demanding and pressurising of a debtor for recovery of amounts, in my view, would not amount to abetment of suicide. The 3 allegations that the applicants threatened the deceased that they would murder him also looks little exaggeration. The applications deserve anticipatory bail. Both the applications are allowed. i) In the event of the applicants arrest, in this case, they shall be released on bail of Rs.5,000/- (Rs.Five Thousand only) each, with one surety in the like amount, each. ii) Mr.G.A.Gadhe, Advocate h/f Mr.P.R.Katneshwarkar, Advocate, permitted to assist the prosecution on behalf of the complainant. Criminal Application No. 1930/2009 is disposed of. (A.V.NIRGUDE,J.) lkp.
