Heard the learned counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. The applicant was arrested in connection with the offence which was registered by the Rabale Police Station under section 498-A read with section 306 of the Indian Penal Code. It is alleged that the applicant used to assault the deceased and demand dowry. The deceased wife of the applicant had filed N.C. complaints on more than two occasions. The letters which are written by the deceased reveal that she was assaulted on number of occasions by her husband. Initially, the deceased had left the house. :2: However, her maternal uncle had brought about a reconciliation between the husband and wife and the applicant promised not to assault her or harass her. However, even thereafter, the harassment continued and, therefore, she committed suicide. 3. In my view, this is not a fit case for bail. Application for Bail is rejected. V.M. V.M. V.M. KANADE, J.
