Narwade, Advocate for appellant. Mr. S.N. Kendre, A.P.P. for respondent No.7/State. CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. Date : 25th November, 2010 1 Heard. 2 The original complainant seeks admission of this appeal against acquittal. The respondents were charged under Section 498-A, 306, 504 read with Section 34 of Indian Penal Code. The respondent No.1 was married to Suvarna d/o appellant about 11 months prior to her death due to suicide. She died on 16/06/2006 in a private hospital. She was admitted in this hospital in burnt condition on 06/05/2006. Soon after her admission in the hospital, the police recorded her statement and learnt from her as to in what circumstances she had attempted to commit suicide. After her death on 2 16/06/2006, the appellant made a complaint to police on 17/06/2006 alleging that Suvarna was subjected to cruelty on account of demand of dowry etc.. The learned judge disbelieved the case of the appellant mainly on the ground that Suvarna when given an opportunity to disclose as to why she had committed suicide, did not disclose that she was harassed on account of the demand of dowry etc.. Unfortunately, Suvarna did not make any other statement before any other independent witness, after 6/05/2006 till her death. I am not inclined to admit the appeal. The appeal stands dismissed. [A.V.
