1 Appln 53-2011 Anand IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.53 OF 2011 The State of Maharashtra .Applicant V/s. Rajendra Dinkar Jadhav & ors .Respondents Mrs.P.P.Bhosale, APP, for the Applicant - State None for the Respondents CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATE : 8TH JUNE, 2011 P.C. . Heard the learned Counsel for the respective parties. This is an application for leave to appeal against the concurrent findings of the learned JMFC, Wai and the Sessions Judge, Satara, who acquitted the respondent for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A, 323, 504, 506 r/w. 34 of the I.P.C. The Complainant had chosen to level allegations against her in-laws, her sister- in-law as well as her husband though she admitted that she was residing separately from all of them. Her husband himself was residing 2 Appln 53-2011 at Pune where he was serving and used to come to native place only on week ends. The Courts below refused to believe the story of ill treatment on account of demand of Rs.50,000/-. Since while the first informant's mother stated that a sum of Rs.15,000/- had been demanded for purchase of M-80 vehicle which was in fact paid, the Complainant and her father stated about demand of Rs.50,000/-. It cannot be said that the Courts below erred in refusing to believe the words of the first informant and her father particularly, in the context of the fact that the first informant was admittedly residing separately from her in-laws as well as her husband, who was at Pune. Therefore, there could be no question of any cruelty or ill treatment being meted to her. Leave refused. 2. Criminal Application is dismissed. (R.C.CHAVAN, J.) 3 Appln 53-2011
