Ahmednagar. ....Applicant. Versus The State of Maharashtra ....Respondent. Mrs. Sadhana Jadhav, Advocate for applicant. Mr. S.G. Nandedkar, APP for State/respondent. CORAM : T. V. NALAWADE, J. DATED : 1st July, 2011. PER COURT : 1. This application is filed for bail in Cr. No. 83/2009 registered with Sonai Police Station, Sonai, District Ahmednagar for offences punishable under sections 302 etc. of the IPC. The papers of investigation were made available. Both the sides are heard. 2. The crime is registered on the basis of report given by the daughter of the present applicant. There is allegation that present applicant committed murder of his second wife. [ It is contended that they were living together as husband and wife ]. The daughter has made allegations that every day present applicant used to drink liquor and used to pick up quarrel with the deceased by taking suspicion about her character. On 12.6.2009 after 5 pm the applicant came to home in Cri. Apln. No. 2001/2011 2 drunken condition and he picked up a quarrel with the deceased. He assaulted even the complainant. At about 1 hrs. of that night the applicant made the daughter wake up and showed the dead body of the deceased. Some clothes of the dead body were found to be removed and there were injuries on the dead body. The complainant called the relatives and informed the relatives that her father had murdered the deceased. Then she approached police and gave report. Axe was used as weapon by the applicant. After the incident he had left home. The record like spot panchanama and PM report is consistent with the contents of FIR and there are also statements of other relatives on motive and on the disclosure made by the complainant to the witnesses. The PM report shows that almost on every part of the body assault was made. The death took place due to cardiovascular failure due to injury found on the dead body multiple trauma. There is material like recovery of weapon on the basis of statement given by the applicant. This material is more than sufficient to make out prima facie case against the applicant for offence under section 302 of IPC. If the applicant is released on bail, there will be certainly tampering of the prosecution witnesses and there will be danger to the life of main witness. So this Court holds that the application cannot be allowed and the application stands rejected. [ T. V. NALAWADE, J.] ssc/criapln
