This incident of assault was the result of quarrel over sewage water, and the complainant alleged that the accused abused his wife, daughter-in-law and his son. Thereafter, it appears the complainant was medically examined and the complaint came to be lodged on next date with Ausa Police Station, District Latur. 4. The learned trial Court found no substance in the prosecution case, and disbelieved the witnesses, for the reasons particularly recorded in para No. 22 & 23 of the impugned Judgment.

Perusal of the evidence reveals that the complainant had told Medical Officer PW-11 Dr. Kiran that he was injured as a result of fall. PW-11 Medical Officer Dr. Kiran further deposed that the injury sustained by the complainant is possible by fall. These 5 4336.10 Cri.Appln. facts stand firm in the evidence, and provide a reason to legitimately doubt the prosecution case. Learned trial Court’s observations are found to be based on the evidence led by the prosecution and as such the same cannot be faulted with. Leave is, therefore, refused. The Criminal Application No. 4336/2010 stands disposed off finally. ( U.D. SALVI, J. ) SDM* September-11
