CORAM : R.S. MOHITE,J. DATED : 20/1/2006. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. This is an appeal filed by the State impugning a judgment and order of II Adhoc Addl. Sessions Judge, Pune dated 15.3.2003 acquitting the accused for an offence punishable under Section 306 read with 34 of the I.P.C. On perusal of the impugned judgment and order, it appears that the same has been passed on cogent and acceptable reasons. The first and foremost contention that the accused are just villagers and the allegation against them was that they harassed the deceased because they had performed an inter caste marriage. The incident of :2: joint suicide by Mazhar Khan and Sana Mazhar Khan took place on 29.2.2001 and the complaint had been submitted by the mother of the deceased on 31.7.2001. The delay is unexplained. In any case, I am not convinced that there is any evidence relating to abetment of suicide against the villagers. Hence, leave refused. Consequently, the appeal stands dismissed. (R. S. MOHITE, J.)
