ndm 1 wp.793.09.sxw IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL WRIT PETITION NO. 793 OF 2009 Dharamraj Pal. ... PETITIONER Vs. Vinodkumar Jagatnarayan Pal and ors. ... RESPONDENTS -------------- Mrs. Anjali Patil with R.M. Greeta for Petitioner. Mrs. V.R. Bhosale, Advocate for Respondent - State. -------------- CORAM : B.H. MARLAPALLE, & R.Y. GANOO, JJ. DATE : 11 th December, 2009. P.C. 1 Heard Mrs. Patil, the learned counsel for the Petitioner, who is the father of the deceased Munita Pal. She was married to Respondent No.1 on 11.05.2005. On 22.10.2008, she died an unnatural death. On 24.10.2008 he filed an FIR with the Bhandup Police Station and alleged that his daughter was done to death and she had not committed suicide, as claimed by the police. 2 In the meanwhile, the dead body was sent for postmortem at Rajawadi Postmortem Center, Ghatkopar, Mumbai on 22.10.2008 and postmortem was conducted on 25.10.2008. The Police registered the ndm 2 wp.793.09.sxw offence under Sections 306, 498A read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and the charge-sheet came to be filed on 04.05.2009 before the learned Metropolitan Magistrate, at Mulund. 3 We have seen the copy of the charge-sheet and the postmortem report annexed thereto. The cause of death as per the doctor was asphyxia due to hanging alongwith contusion. Even the medical certificate dated 22.10.2008 giving the cause of death stated that the Petitioner’s daughter died due to asphyxia due to hanging alongwith contusion. 4 We therefore, do not find any case for transferring the investigation to the Crime Branch at this stage, and undoubtedly, if any fresh or additional material comes before the competent Court, it has powers to alter the charge or add to the charges already framed. 5 Hence the Writ Petition is dismissed.
