During the period from 28.6.2006 to 9.9.2006 Pradnya was taking treatment in various hospitals. On 24.7.2006 the statement of Pradnya has been recorded. In the said statement, she has stated that she has a minor son. As her son troubled her, she beat her son. Due to this there was a quarrel between her and her husband (applicant). On account of quarrel, Pradnya was fed up and hence, she consumed insecticide. Thereafter her husband admitted her in the hospital. In the said statement, she has stated that she does not have any complaint against any one. In the said statement, there is no reference to any demand or any illtreatment or harassment by the applicant to her on any count.
