1 APPLN 872 OF 2011 vks IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.872 OF 2011 The State of Maharashtra .. Applicant -versus Asif Ramjan Shaikh and 3 ors .. Respondents. Mrs. V. R. Bhosale, APP for the applicant. Mr. Anand S Patil, for the Respondent Nos 1 to 4. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: 13th December, 2011 P.C. 1. This is an application for leave to file appeal against acquittal of the respondents, ordered by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Kolhapur, for the offence punishable under Sections 498A, 306 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. I have gone through the copies of deposition of material witnesses, which have been placed on record by learned APP. Learned Judge cannot be faulted for acquitting the respondents since there are material omissions and contradictions in the evidence of witnesses examined on the crucial point such as demand of Rs.25,000/- or payment of that amount as also the alleged illtreatment. The view taken by the learned Judge cannot be said to be perverse or improbable. Leave refused. Appeal dismissed. (R. C. CHAVAN, J.)
