Cri. Appln. No. 3547/11 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3547 OF 2011 1. Rupali w/o. Rambhau Koyalwar, R/o. Gaundgaon, Tq. Degloor, Dist. Nanded. 2. Anjali w/o. Sanjay Punnalwar, R/o. ND-2, CIDCO Nanded, Tq. and Dist. Nanded. ....Applicants. Versus The State of Maharashtra ....Respondent. Mr. G.G. Kadam, Advocate for applicant. Mr. B.J. Sonawane, APP for State/respondent. CORAM : T. V. NALAWADE, J. DATED : 12th August, 2011. PER COURT : 1. This application is filed for anticipatory bail in Cr. No. 339/10 registered in Bhagyanagar Police Station, Nanded for offences punishable under sections 304-B, 306, 498-A, 34 etc. of IPC. The advocate argued for ad-interim anticipatory bail. 2. The crime is registered on the basis of report given by father of Cri. Appln. No. 3547/11 2 deceased on 18.12.2010. Daughter of complainant committed suicide by hanging herself and allegations are that there was a demand of dowry and it was demanded in the form of 50% of expenses which was to be incurred for the construction of the hospital. The record shows that both the applicants are in service and they proceeded on leave on 18.12.2010 and since then they are not available. In chargesheet filed, they are shown as absconding. 3. Some record is produced to show that in the past, application for anticipatory bail was filed in the Sessions Court. That application was rejected on merits. Application was then moved to High Court and it was withdrawn. Again application was moved in Sessions Court. It was submitted that as the High Court gave liberty to file application, this application is now moved. Argument was also advanced that Sessions Court took time in deciding the subsequent applications of the applicants and so no further steps were taken. The applications were kept pending for about four months in Sessions Court. This Court has no hesitation to hold, in view of the record produced in this Court that these were the tactics played by the applicants. 4. The charge-sheet is filed long back, in February 2011 and the applicants are shown as absconding. It was the duty of the applicants to surrender, as at no time, this Court or the Sessions Court granted any Cri. Appln. No. 3547/11 3 interim relief to the applicants. As they are absconding for more than eight months, no further discussion is necessary. The relief sought is discretionary in nature and this Court holds that no relief can be granted to the applicants and there is no need to issue notice to other side. The application stands rejected. Authenticated copy is to be supplied to the advocate of the applicants. [ T. V. NALAWADE, J.] ssc/ca3547/11
