Mr.S.S.Doifode, A.P.P. for appellant/State. Mr.K.S.Narwade, Adv. for respondent/accused. CORAM : A.H. JOSHI, J. DATE : 30th July, 2010. 1. The Criminal Application is filed by the Appellant/State for leave to appeal. 2. Accused were charged for commission of the offences u/ss.498-A and 306 of I.P.C. 3. Accused no.1 has been convicted for the offence punishable u/s.498-A of IPC while all the accused are acquitted in relation to charge u/s. 306 of I.P.C. Accused nos. 2 and 3 are also acquitted towards both the charges. 4. Heard the learned A.P.P. at length and the Adv. for the respondent. Perused the 2 record, copies whereof were produced in the additional Paper book. The learned Sessions Judge held as regards accused nos. 2 and 3 that the charge u/s. 498-A was not proved as there is no evidence brought in proof thereof. Insofar as acquittal of accused no. 1 in relation to the charge u/s. 306 of I.P.C. is concerned, the learned Sessions Judge found that the prosecution has failed to prove abetment or any act on the part of the accused persons to instigate the deceased to commit suicide. 5. The findings of the Sessions Judge are not shown to be perverse or recorded in disregard to the evidence on record. The appeal has no merit. The application and the appeal are rejected. Judge jais
