1 (Cr.appln.522/10) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.522 OF 2010 Rajesh A. Kanojia and Others .... Applicants. V/s State of Maharashtra .... Respondent. ---- Mr. Hemant Ingale for the applicants. Mrs. M.R. Tidake, APP for the State. --- CORAM: V. M. KANADE, J. DATE : 19th July, 2010 P.C.:- 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicants and the learned APP for the State. 2. Applicants have filed this application for quashing the complaint lodged against the applicants herein for the offence punishable under sections 498A, 306 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. Prosecution case is that the wife of accused No.1 2 (Cr.appln.522/10) committed suicide by consuming poison and, thereafter, by hanging herself and, according to the complainant, applicants were responsible for abetment and, therefore, the complaint was registered by the Colaba Police Station vide C.R. No.84 of 2009. Charge-sheet now has been filed. 4. The learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the applicants has taken me through the statements of witnesses and urged that no case is made out by the prosecution against the applicants herein. He pointed out that there is a discrepancy in the statement of one of the daughters of the applicant No.1 and that the police have not relied on the statement of one of the daughters. He submitted that there are several discrepancies in the statement of witnesses. 5. The submissions made by the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the applicants cannot be accepted. It is a well settled position in law that the Court while exercising its inherent jurisdiction under section 482 of the Criminal Procedure Code is not expected to appreciate the material on record and arrive at any particular conclusion. Perusal of the complaint and the statements of witnesses indicate that, prima facie, allegations are made against the applicants for commission of the said offence. Therefore, it is not possible to go through the material on record for the purpose of finding out correctness or otherwise of the statements which are made before police. Hence, there is 3 (Cr.appln.522/10) no substance in the submissions made by the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the applicants. 6. Application is, therefore, dismissed. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
