1 Criminal Application No.1031/2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1031 OF 2011 Digambar s/o Dnyandeo Madne ... APPLICANT VERSUS The State of Maharashtra ... RESPONDENT ..... Shri S.S. Deshmukh, Advocate for applicant Shri N.B. Patil, A.P.P. for respondent ..... CORAM : K.U. CHANDIWAL, J. DATE : 29th March, 2011 PER COURT : 1. Heard. The accused/ applicant, husband of deceased Pranali, in custody since 30.10.2010 in Crime No.I-377/2010, registered at Shrigonda Police Station, for offence under Sections 304-B, 498-A read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, seeks bail. 2. The deceased Pranali married to the accused on 16.5.2010 and committed suicide on 29.10.2010, within 5 months of her marriage, by leaving a death note at Page 70. 3. Counsel submits, at the material time when the 2 Criminal Application No.1031/2011 deceased Pranali inhaled poisonous substance, accused/ applicant was not at home and he has no role in the matter. 4. The recovery panchanama illustrate that the bottle of poison which was used allegedly by deceased, is recovered/ discovered at the instance of the accused from his Flour Mill concealed in a portion of wall. There was no reason for the accused/ applicant to have such odd behaviour. That apart, the F.I.R. of the father illustrate that, few days prior to the incident, Kondabai, Tarabai, Santosh Khomne had been to the house of victim where she had put up a grievance of ill-treatment at the hands of the accused and based on the same, the accused was given exhortion to behave properly. The span of marriage and the death demonstrate the ignominy with which the deceased was suffering. There is nothing to demonstrate that the victim had a mental frustration of her own difficulties resulting in taking toll of her precious life. In the situation, no case to entertain bail. Application lacks merits, dismissed. The learned Sessions Judge seized with the matter, shall ensure expeditious disposal considering the length of custody of the accused. K.U.
