1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI.APPLICATION NO. 547 OF 2009 Satish Pandharinath Giri Gosavi .. Applicant Vs State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr.S.C.Halli, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. K.V.Saste, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 16/06/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.212 of 2008 of Pandharpur Taluka Police Station The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 306, 498-A read with 34 of IPC. 3. With the assistance of the learned counsel for the applicant and the learned APP I have gone through the statements of several witnesses and more particularly the T 2 statement of Tulshidas Gosavi, the father of the deceased. I have also perused a suicide note left by the deceased. It is clear from the statements of all these witnesses and the suicide note that there was persistent and consistent demand from the applicant and his parents of articles and monies from the parents of the deceased. It is clear from the material on record that the deceased was subjected to harassment with a view to coercing her and her parents to meet unlawful demand of articles and monies, which drove the deceased to commit suicide. Looking to the nature of allegations made against the applicant, in my opinion, this is not a fit case to enlarge him on bail. Hence, the application is rejected. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
