1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE Criminal Application No.3024 of 2008 Arun Appaso Dange Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra Respondent Mr.A.P.Mundargi, Senior Counsel with Mr.G.M.Savagave for applicant. Mr.J.P.Yagnik, APP for State. CORAM: D.B.BHOSALE, J. October 22, 2008 P.C. . Heard Mr. Mundargi, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr.Yagnik, learned APP. . The applicant seeks bail in C.R.No.42 of 2008 of Kurundwad Police Station, Kurundwad. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under Sections 302, 498-A, 323, 504 read with section 34 of IPC. The present applicant is the husband of the deceased who allegedly killed her with a blow of sickle on her head. The alleged incident was witnessed by Vivek, the son of the applicant and the deceased. I have perused his statement very carefully and from his statement it is very clear that the 2 deceased was subjected to cruelty with a view to coercing her to meet unlawful demand of monies. It is further clear that the applicant assaulted the deceased with sickle which was seen by Vivek. There is prima facie case against the applicant. In my opinion, this is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence the application is rejected.
