Applicant V/s. The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr. I.A. Bagaria for the applicant. Mrs. M.M. Deshmukh, APP for the State. CORAM CORAM CORAM : D.B. BHOSALE, J. : D.B. BHOSALE, J. : D.B. BHOSALE, J. DATED DATED DATED : 30th June, 2006 : 30th June, 2006 : 30th June, 2006 P.C. . This is an application for bail in the appeal filed against judgment and order of conviction, mainly under section 306 of IPC. By the impugned judgment, the applicant has been sentenced to suffer RI for seven years. The applicant has also been convicted under Section 498-A of IPC. I perused the judgment and in particular the testimonies of complainant P.W.1 Janardhan and P.W. 2 Alka i.e. father and friend of the deceased. Their evidence clearly demonstrates that the deceased was subjected to cruelty by the accused to coerce her and her parents to fulfil the demand of money which ultimately drove her to commit suicide. Considering the material on record I am not in favour of granting bail to the applicant. The application is accordingly rejected. ( 2 ) 2. At this stage the learned counsel for the applicant prays for liberty to prepare paper book. Liberty as prayed for is granted. It is open for the applicant to apply for fixed date of hearing after filing of paper book. [D.B. [D.B. [D.B. BHOSALE,J.] BHOSALE,J.] BHOSALE,J.]
