1 APPLN-514.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.514 OF 2011 The State of Maharashtra .... Applicant Vs. Prakash Mahadeo Kodag & Ors. .... Respondents Shri S.A. Shaikh, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: AUGUST 01, 2011 P.C: This is an application for leave to file appeal against the acquittal of the respondents recorded by the Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Sangola for the offences punishable under Sections 325, 504 and 506 of the IPC. The learned Magistrate refused to believe the evidence tendered because the first informant's wife with whom the altercation had begun was not examined. He also found that the FIR was lodged four days after the incident, though the injury to the first informant was not serious as to prevent him from lodging the report promptly. He also found that PW-3 Manisha, who was the supposed eye- witness, had claimed in her examination-in- 2 APPLN-514.11 chief that she was doing weeding operation in the complainant s field but in the cross- examination she states that she was weeding in the field of the accused. It cannot be said that the view taken by the learned Magistrate is perverse or improbable. Leave refused. Appeal dismissed. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
