STATE OF MAHARASHTRA, THROUGH P.S.O., P.S., UMRED, DIST. NAGPUR AND OTHERS Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Appearances, Courts orders or directions Court’s or Judge’s orders and Registrar’s orders. Mr. M. D. Mahajan, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. M. J. Khan, A.P.P. for respondent no.1/State. CORAM : PRASANNA B. VARALE, J. DATED : 29 th AUGUST , 2011 . Heard Mr. M. D. Mahajan, the learned counsel for the applicant and Mr. M. J. Khan, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent no.1/State. By the present application, the applicant is challenging the order passed below Exh. 75 by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Nagpur dated 28.07.2011 in Sessions Trial No. 454 of 2007. The applicant had moved an application (Exh. 75) under Section 242(2) r/w Section 230 of the Code of Criminal Procedure to issue summons to vital and material witnesses, which came to be rejected by the impugned order dated 28.07.2011. The sum and substance of the submissions of the learned counsel for the applicant is that the daughter of the applicant died unnatural death in her matrimonial house. Though, it is a case of murder, an attempt was made to show that it is a case of suicide. An application (Exh.75) was moved before the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Nagpur, with a prayer to issue summons to the vital and material witnesses viz. one 2 photographer namely Umesh Borkar, the son of complainant namely Yogendra Mehsram and Smt. Shobhatai Phadanwis, Ex.Minister and M.L.A. from Chandrapur. The learned Additional Sessions Judge, Nagpur, observed that the complainant had moved the application (Exh.74) for summoning the Police Station Officer, Umred Police Station for producing photographs and negatives, which was already rejected by a reasoned order. The learned Judge further observed that the prosecution has examined all the material witnesses and trial is at the fag end. A Writ Petition No. 509 of 2007 was filed by the complainant before this Court challenging the dismissal of his earlier application moved to the various authorities viz. Police Commissioner, President, Vice President, MLA etc. The said writ petition was withdrawn by the complainant. The learned Sessions Judge further observed that the matter is pending since many years for disposal and the attempts of the applicant are nothing but seeking re-investigation, which would result in prolonging the trial. It is also observed by the learned Sessions Judge that one Smt. Shobhatai Phadnwis, Ex. M.L.A. being the representative of the people, who had visited the spot along with some other persons, is a third person and she cannot throw any light on the commission of offence in any way. I find no fault committed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Nagpur in passing the impugned order. The application is devoid of merits and deserves no interference at the hands of this Court. In the result, the criminal application is rejected. JUDGE Diwale
