Heard the learned Advocate for the Applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R No.135 of 2007 of Vinobha Bhave Nagar Police Station. The said case is mainly under Sections 498-A, 304(B) of IPC. 3. The material on record shows that the applicant demanded an amount of Rs.1 lakh from the parents of his wife (deceased). An amount of Rs.30,000/- was given by the complainant to the accused. However, thereafter the applicant ..(2).. continued to ill-treat his wife as the balance amount of Rs.70,000/- was not paid. One meeting was held at his native place and the accused in presence of many persons has admitted about the ill-treatment and gave assurance that he will give good treatment to his wife. This assurance was given on stamp paper which is dated 20.2.2006. It is prosecution case that even thereafter the ill-treatment continued, hence the wife of the applicant committed suicide by hanging herself. 4. The material on record shows that the deceased was ill-treated by the applicant as the demand was not met. Moreover, the learned APP has stated that the charge has been framed and the trial is to start on 2nd August, 2008. In this view of the matter, I am not inclined to grant bail to the applicant, at this stage. Application for bail is rejected. In case the trial is not completed by 31st October,2008, liberty to the applicant to prefer fresh application for bail. (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.) (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.) (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.)
