1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3833 OF 2009 Raju @ Siddharam Dhondiba Nakasherao........ Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra ........Respondent. Mr. V.V. Purwant adv. for the Applicant Mrs. P.P. Shinde APP. for the Respondent/State. CORAM: A. P DESHPANDE, J. DATED : 29th August, 2009. P. C.: 1. This bail application is moved under section 439 of Cr.P.C. in connection with C.R. No. 41/09 for offence undder section 498­A, 306, 201 read with 345 of IPC. The marriage of deceased Chandrakala was solomanised with the present applicant on 20­4­2008. After the marriage the deceased was residing along with the applicant and his family members. Chandrakala committed suicide on 19­3­2009. The FIR is filed by mother of deceased wherein it can be seen that the deceased was five months pregnant at the time of her death. It is stated that the present applicant and the maternal uncle of the present applicant used to ill­treat and torture the deceased on account of failure of the deceased in satisfying the demand of Rs. 50,000/­. According to the FIR the applicant had demanded a sum of Rs. 50,000/­ to set 2 up a hair cutting saloon and for improving the agriculture. Failure on the part of the parents of the deceased to pay the amount has resulted in meeting cruel treatment at the hands of the present applicant to the deceased. It is also stated in the complaint that the parents did not have sound financial condition and they were unable to pay the amount demanded. Chandrakala thus committed suicide by hanging at the residence of the present applicant. Statement of neighbours are also recorded. In the statement of one Alamma Ganpati Koli there is a clear reference of demand of sum of Rs.50,000/­ by the husband and the maternal uncle of the husband and ill­treatment at the hands of the present applicant on account of non payment of Rs. 50,000/­. The said fact has been mentioned by the deceased to the said witness. From the material on record it can be seen that there is enough material to connect the applicant with the crime. In my view this is not a fit case for release of the applicant on bail. Hence application is rejected. (A. P. Deshpande, J.)
