1 Criminal Application No.1612/2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1612 OF 2011 Amol s/o Sidram Karke ... APPLICANT VERSUS The State of Maharashtra ... RESPONDENT ..... Shri N.V. Gaware, Advocate for applicant Shri N.B. Patil, A.P.P. for respondent ..... CORAM : K.U. CHANDIWAL, J. DATE : 27th April, 2011 PER COURT : 1. Heard finally. The accused/ applicant, in custody from 21.3.2011, in Crime No.56/2011, registered at Omerga Police Station, for an offence under Sections 306 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code, urge for bail. 2. The accused/ applicant allegedly used to sit at a pan stall opposite to the house of the deceased, had made gestures nagging suggesting indecent acts to the deceased. He was warned by her husband to behave properly. In spite of such 2 Criminal Application No.1612/2011 warning being given, the applicant allegedly was implacable. Consequently, since the wife of the complainant could not bear the brunt of the situation, allegedly committed suicide by leaving a death note, specifically implicating the accused/ applicant as to how he was harassing her, defaming her, which made her life miserable and to force her to commit suicide. Mr. Gaware submits, the events, if taken in sequence, project suspicious angle and points to the attribution of husband than the accused/ applicant. The wife was not keeping well with her husband/ complainant, for which there were civil proceedings in respect of challenge to alienation made by the husband. The wife claimed that her husband was harassing her and according to him, this could be the reasonable cause for the victim to commit suicide. Learned counsel has also challenged veracity of the death note left behind by the the deceased. 3. Learned A.P.P. informs, based on investigation papers, the writing script of the deceased is verified by the investigator which match to her admitted signature and the disputed death note. 4. The events of nagging humiliation were witnessed by several persons, whose statements are recorded. The accused/ applicant did not mend his way and his acts had made the life of 3 Criminal Application No.1612/2011 deceased miserable. She succumbed by jumping in a well. The doubt created by the learned counsel to the husband to be instrumental, is hollow without any iota primarily to indicate in the directions he proposed. 5. Investigation is in progress, no case to release the accused/ applicant on bail. Application rejected, finally disposed of. Observations are prima facie. K.U. CHANDIWAL JUDGE fmpcri1612.11
