Respondent Mr. A.P.Mundargi, senior counsel i/b Mr. P.G.Chavan , Advocate for the Applicant. Mr.K.V.Saste, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 26/06/2009 PC: 1. Heard Mr Mundargi, learned senior counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.109 of 2009 of Faraskhana Police Station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 306, 506 read with 34 of IPC. 3. The applicant is a builder. The deceased had booked a flat with him and he was supposed to pay Rs.2.55 lacs towards the T 2 purchase price. The matter had gone to the consumer forum and there is an order in favour of the deceased dated 29.9.08, directing the applicant to hand over possession of the flat on receipt of the balance payment from the deceased. The deceased was given four weeks time to make the payment and the applicant was given two weeks time therefrom to hand over possession of the flat. Neither the complainant, who is the wife of the deceased, nor his daughter has stated in their statements that the amount, as per the directions of the consumer forum, was paid by the deceased to the applicant. It is against this backdrop, the deceased committed suicide by consuming poison. He left a note stating that he was threatened by the applicant on several occasions and the applicant was demanding more amount from him. In the note he has also made reference to the marriage of his daughter and stated that the applicant told him that if he was having money to perform his daughter’s marriage, why he was not paying the amount demanded by him. Having considered overall facts and circumstances of the case and more particularly the statements of the complainant and her daughter and the note left by the deceased, so also the order of the consumer forum dated 29.9.2008, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence, the following order. The applicant-Prabhakar Pandurang Bhosale is 3 directed to be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every Saturday between 6 and 7 pm for a period of 90 days from the date of his arrest or till filing of the chargesheet whichever is earlier. 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 uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
