DATE : 1ST JULY, 2011 P.C. . Heard the learned Counsel for the respective parties. 2. This is an application for leave to file an appeal against acquittal of the respondents rendered by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Nashik reversing the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate's order whereby the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate had convicted the respondents for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A & 323 read 2 Appln 4597-2009 with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The learned Additional Sessions Judge rightly held that there was unexplained delay of 19 months in filing a complaint. The learned APP also made available for my perusal notes of evidence recorded by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate which show that when victim was married to accused No.1, her mother-in-law had already expired. The respondents were residing at village Bhardapur, Taluka Shrirampur, District Ahmednagar. The victim and her husband came to reside at Panchavati, Nashik where her husband got a job. The victim was residing at 10 to 30 minutes distance from the house of her relations. In this context, it cannot be said that view taken by the learned Additional Sessions Judge was improbable or perverse. Leave refused. Appeal dismissed. (R.C.CHAVAN, J.)
