1 BA-1029.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1029 OF 2011 {For Bail} Sunny Rajendra Ligade .... Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Shri U.R. Agandsurve for the Applicant. Shri J.P. Kharge, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: SEPTEMBER 07, 2011 P.C: This is an application for bail by a person who has been arrested and charge-sheeted for the offences punishable under Sections 376, 306 and 420 of IPC on the allegation that the applicant had an affair with one Madhuri, aged 23 years, for about four years prior to the incident which took place on 21-3-2011. Before that, in August 2009 itself the victim and the applicant had gone to the police and the victim had specifically stated that she had come to the police to give a report against the applicant as the applicant had refused to marry her, but had decided to drop that complaint. 2 BA-1029.11 Thus, she knew in 2009 itself that the applicant was not going to marry her. It is also alleged in the FIR itself that the applicant had married some other girl and even thereafter was trying to visit the victim in order to have intercourse with her. On the incidental day also the applicant is alleged to have come to the victim and quarreled with the victim. The victim then committed suicide by hanging herself inside her house in the same evening. The investigation is complete and the charge-sheet has been filed. Considering the allegations which are recounted above, the applicant's being at large pending the trial is unlikely to prejudice the trial. The applicant be, therefore, released on bail in C.R. No.45 of 2011 of Laxmipuri Police Station, District Kolhapur on his furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the aggregate sum of Rs.25,000/-. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
