1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Criminal Application [ABA] No. 215 of 2011 (Deepak S/o. Narayan Jadhao and others Vs. State of Maharashtra) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Appearances, Courts orders or directions Court’s or Judge’s orders and Registrar’s orders. Mr. Anil Mardikar, Advocate for the applicants Mr. S.M. Bhagde, APP for the State/respondent CORAM : M.N. GILANI, J. DATE : 29 th JUNE, 2011. Heard both sides. One Prakash Jadhao died by consuming poison on 22/05/2011. After his death, his mother lodged F.I.R. on 01/06/2011. It is alleged in the report that deceased had borrowed hand-loan from applicant no. 5 for the purpose of marriage of his sister. Learned APP, on instruction, states that the marriage was performed one year prior to the incident. On 22/05/2011, applicant no. 2-son of applicant no. 5, came to the house of deceased and carried deceased to his house. It is alleged that deceased was ill-treated on account of non-refund of loan amount. From the house of applicants-accused persons, deceased returned to his house and disclosed before his mother that he was abused and beaten by applicants because of his inability to refund the loan amount. In a same transaction, he also disclosed that he would consume poison. On 23/05/2011, complainant-Sumanbai learnt about the death of her son. In the F.I.R., it is stated that since she was disturbed, she made delay in lodging F.I.R. 2 Whatever the incident of ill-treatment quoted seems to have occurred only on 22/05/2011. There are no allegations that over a dispute of non-refund of loan amount, deceased was being continuously tortured and ill-treated. Apart from the delay in lodging F.I.R., even if the case as it is accepted, whether it would amount to abetment to commit suicide is a relevant question for which at this stage there is no answer. In the result, interim relief granted in favour of applicant no. 2 is confirmed subject to condition that he shall attend the Police Station Digras, District Yavatmal, once in a week on every Monday in between 10:00 a.m. to 04:00 p.m. till chargesheet is submitted.
