1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.911 OF 2010 Mainabai Damodhar Dufake and another. ..Applicants V/s The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent ..... Mr.N.K. Choudhari, Advocate for applicants. Mr.K.S. Patil, APP for respondent. ..... CORAM : SHRIHARI P. DAVARE,J. DATE : 24th March, 2010. PER COURT : 1. Heard Mr.N. K. Choudhari, learned Counsel for applicants as well as Mr.K.S. Patil, learned A.P.P. for respondent. 2. This is an application preferred by applicants seeking anticipatory bail apprehending their arrest in connection with C.R. No.36/2010 registered with Gondi Police Station, Dist.Jalna for the offences punishable under sections 306, 304-B, 498-A r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2 3. It appears that the complaint came to be registered on 09.02.2010 on the report lodged by one Vithal Sakharam Mane i.e. father of victim Rukhminbai. The marriage of deceased Rukhminbai was solemnized with Somnath Duphale on 13th May, 2009. It is alleged that victim Rukhminbai was subjected to cruelty ill- treatment and harassment by applicants for unlawful demand of Rs.50,000/-, which led to the death of victim. The alleged incident occurred on 7th February, 2010 i.e. within span of 9 months from the marriage. A.D. came to be registered on 8th February, 2010. 4. On the perusal of the contents of the F.I.R., it appears that there are specific allegations against applicants. Life of Rukhminbai has already been lost and her body was found in well, but cause of death is not drowning and probable cause of death shown in the P.M. report is hemorrhagic shock due to internal brain hemorrhage and four ante morten external injuries found on her body. Hence, this is not fit case to exercise the discretionary powers laid down under section 438 of Code of Criminal Procedure, since the 3 custodial interrogation of applicants is necessary. 5. In the result, the application being sans merit, stands dismissed. The interim protection, if any, stands vacated. (SHRIHARI P. DAVARE) JUDGE gas/cri911.10
