IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 2004 OF 2009 Sagar Dhondiram Patil ........ Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra ........Respondent. Mr. Kedar J. Patil adv. for the Applicants Mr. J.P. Yagnik APP. for the Respondent/State. CORAM: A. P DESHPANDE, J. DATED : 31st July, 2009. P. C.: 1. The present application is filed by the husband of the deceased. C.R. No. 90/08 came to be registered with Shivaji nagar police station, Ichhalkaranji under sections 304-B, 498-A,323, 504, 306 read with 34 of IPC Perused the order passed by the learned Single Judge of this court rejecting the application for bail moved by the mother of the present applicant and perused the reasons. The role attributed to the present applicant and his mother, whose application has been rejected, is same. The neighborers are the witnesses touching the ill-treatent meted out by the applicant and his mother to the deceased with a view to pressurize her to bring Rs.50,000/- from her parents. On account of ill treatment the deceased consumed poison. An inference can be drawn from the statements of the neighborers as well as the doctor that the deceased was subjected to cruelty by the applicant in relation to demand of Rs.50,000/- from the parents of the deceased. The incident had occurred within seven years from the date of marriage and the death is unnatural death coupled with demand for dowry. Hence I do not think that this is a fit case for grant of bail. Application is rejected. (A. P. Deshpande, J.)
