CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATED : 19TH NOVEMBER, 2008. DATED : 19TH NOVEMBER, 2008. DATED : 19TH NOVEMBER, 2008. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicant and the complainant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.154 of 2008 of Vakola police station, Mumbai. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and four others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 498(A), 302, 304(B) and 306 r/w 34 of the IPC. It is on the allegations that the present applicant, who is the husband of the deceased - Shahin Khan, and other accused subjected the deceased to cruelty with a view to coercing her and her parents to meet unlawful demand of Rs.20,00,000/-. There are specific allegations made against the 2 2 2 applicant that he used to assault her. It is further alleged that just before the alleged incident the applicant had called the complainant and told him that if the amount of Rs.20,00,000/- was not paid he would kill the deceased. This harassment, according to the prosecution, drove the deceased to commit suicide. Looking to the nature of allegations against the applicant, in my opinion, this is not a fit case to enlarge him on bail. Hence the application is rejected. The trial is expedited. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
