1 APPLN 4718 OF 2010.sxw vks IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 4718 OF 2010. Nityanand Narayan Kattimani .. Applicant -versus The State of Maharashtra .. Respondent. Mr. V.V. Purwant, for the Applicant. Mr. J. P. Kharge, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the Respondent State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: 26th November, 2010 P.C. 1. The applicant is alleged to have destroyed half portion of the suicide note of the victim. The allegations are strange in nature. The remaining part of suicide note shows that the victim had grievance about her colleagues in the place where she was working. It seems that the victim consumed poison on 6th September, 2010 because of harassment by her colleagues. Ordinarily it would have been the victim who would tell about the suicide note. But it is strange that the applicant himself asked the victim’s daughter to take the suicide note from the blouse of the victim and then is alleged to have torn the half portion of the suicide note. The victim’s husband is missing for the last 16 years. 2 APPLN 4718 OF 2010.sxw The applicant is victim’s neighbour. The applicant was arrested on 8th September, 2010 itself. The victim’s statement was not recorded from 6.9.2010 to 8.9.2010, may be because she was not fit to give statement. Considering the nature of material collected, though according to learned APP Investigation is still in progress, the applicant’s being in custody pending further investigation or trial may not be necessary. In view of this the applicant arrested in CR No.203 of 2010, registered at Faujdar Chawadi Police Station, Solapur, for the offences punishable under Sections 306, 204 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code, be released on his furnishing PR Bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the aggregate sum of Rs.25,000/-.
