Georai, Dist. Beed .. Applicants Versus State of Maharashtra, (Copy served on the Public Prosecutor, High Court, Bench at Aurangabad) .. Respondent Mr. Joydeep Chatterji, Advocate for the Applicants Smt. S.B. Wadmare, APP for the Respondent-State CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. DATED : 2ND JULY, 2009 ORAL ORDER:- 1] The applicants are seeking bail in crime (2) CR.APP. 2152.2009 no. 55 of 2009 of Talwada Police Station, Dist. Beed. The offences under section 498-A, 306, 494 r/w. 34 of the Indian Penal Code are alleged against the applicants and others. 2] The other accused Nandkishor was married to one Renuka about five years back. Since Renuka did not beget a child, Nandkishor married second time. This caused tension between the parties and Renuka left Nandkishor and went to her mother’s house and from there, she sent a legal notice to her husband. After few days there occurred amicable settlement between the parties and Renuka came to reside with her husband Nandkishor and her co-wife. It is the prosecution case that even thereafter the applicants and Nandkishor continued their harassment of Renuka over demand of Rs.50,000/-. Ultimately on 8.6.2009 Renuka committed suicide by consuming insecticides. After her death the present complaint came to be filed. 3] Except the statement of the complainant and his relatives, there is no independent source of information regarding the harassment of Renuka over the demands. In a case like this probably the deceased suffered emotionally, because she had lost her status in the family and besides her family members humiliated her on various issues such as her inability to conceal etc. The death of the (3) CR.APP. 2152.2009 complainant’s daughter is certainly unfortunate but the applicants deserve bail. 4] In this case the applicants are in custody since 9.6.2009. The investigation as far their role is concerned must have been over. The applicants are released on bail of Rs.5,000/- (Rs. Five Thousand) each with one surety each in the like amount. The applicants shall attend the Police Station, as and when required. 5] Criminal Application stands disposed of. Sd/- (A.V. NIRGUDE, J.) arp/2july9/cr2152.09
