The applicant is seeking bail in connection with C.R.No.76/2007 registered with Hatkanangle Police Station, Kolhapur for the offences punishable under sections 498(A) read with section 306 of Indian Penal Code. 3. The applicant has approached this Court after having suffered adverse order dated 13th November, 2007 in hands of Ad-hoc Additional Sessions Judge-3, Kolhapur. The learned Sessions Judge while refusing to grant bail has observed as under:- "5. Now on going through the record, it is pertinent to note that admittedly the earlier bail application at Exh.4 has been rejected by this Court on 08-10-2007 and that since then there is no any change in circumstances shown by the accused excepting that now his minor daughter has gone to reside at her maternal uncle’s house in another village. However except his bare submissions, there is nothing on record to corroborate his said submission. As such his said submission cannot be believed or accepted as a gospel truth. Apart from it, it is also worthy to note that the prosecution has collected cogent evidence against the accused in the present crime. The offence alleged against the accused is under Section 498-A and 306 of the Indian Penal Code. so also it is pertinent to note that at the time of earlier bail application at Exh.4 the prosecution has assured of expediating the trial of this case without any delay from its side. Now the charge has been framed against the accused and the matter is kept for evidence. Hence considering the stage and prima-facie case as well as there being no change in the circumstance, I am inclined to reject this bail application....." 4. Having seen the material on record, having gone through the findings recorded by the learned Sessions Judge, no case is made out to take view other than the view taken by the learned Sessions Judge. 5. In the result, application is rejected. JUDGE JUDGE JUDGE
