1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1777 OF 2007 The State of Maharashtra ..Applicant V/s. Immamuddin Jainuddin Mujawar ..Respondent Mr.J.P.Yagnik, A.P.P, for the State Mr.G.M.Savagave, Advocate, for respondent CORAM : K.U.CHANDIWAL, J. DATE : 31ST JULY, 2008 P.C. . Heard. 2. The evidence on record illustrates that the victim's both the hands were completely burnt. However, Dying Declaration demonstrates that it was signed by her. There is no plausible explanation for this mistake. Admittedly, there were erases in the Dying Declaration, and even in the medical record, as to the name of the victim and as to the explosion of stove, which have their evidential effect on the merits of the prosecution case. Out 2 of the two sons, one supports father (accused) while the other supports the said deceased (mother). On these two sets of identical facts, the testimony of one of the sons, will not be reaching to its logical conclusion, in respect of harassment to the deceased or any ill treatment to her. It may be noted that the accused was a S. T. driver by profession and alcoholic but that does not mean that all the times he went upon ill treating his wife and particularly when, the marriage had taken place before 10 years. The brother of the deceased refers that the marriage has taken place before 15 years and the sister (deceased) was harassed. The squabbles in the life cannot be branded as harassment to attract penal provisions of Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. The findings recorded by the learned Additional Sessions Judge cannot be dispelled in the light of what is observed above. Hence, application for leave to appeal is rejected. (K.U.CHANDIW 3 AL, J.)
