1 Cri.Appln.No.2736/2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2736/2011. 1) The State of Maharashtra Through Pratibha Sandip Bhalerao in Crime No.32/2007 of Savda Police Station, Tq. Raver, Dist. Jalgaon. = APPELLANT (orig.Complainant) Versus 1) Shashikalabai Damu Bhalerao and 3 others = RESPONDENTS. *** Mr.VD Godbharale, APP for Appellant/State. ----- CORAM : A.H.JOSHI & A.R.JOSHI,JJ. DATE : 22nd August, 2011. PER COURT : 1) The accused/Respondents were tried for commission of offence under Section 498-A, 504 and 506 r/w Section 34 and Section 302 of Indian Penal Code. 2) We have perused the impugned judgment and heard the learned APP. It is seen that the case is based on multiple dying declarations, 2 Cri.Appln.No.2736/2011 which are self-contradictory. 3) Admittedly, the witnesses did not narrate anything about the dowry related or other demands and ill-treatment based thereon. 4) Moreover, considering the plurality of version contained in the dying declarations, the learned Sessions was right in recording the judgment of acquittal. 5) Though the State has filed appeal against acquittal, it does not disclose any ground that the evidence brought on record is not taken into account or otherwise the judgment and order of acquittal is perverse. 6) Bare challenge does not entitle the appellant/State for admission of the appeal for reversal of the judgment of acquittal into conviction. 7) The Appeal has no merit and hence, the application seeking leave to file appeal is dismissed.
