This is an application for leave to file an appeal against the judgment and order passed by 3rd Addl.Sessions Judge, Kolhapur, acquitting the accused of the offence punishable under sections 498-A and 306 read with 34 of IPC. The complainant is the mother of the deceased and she has been examined as P.w.3. Her evidence is discussed by the Sessions judge from paragraph 17 onwards. In her examination-in -chief she has deposed various incidents, which had allegedly taken place in the year 1998, April 2001, 2002 and May 2005. Those incidents are mentioned for the first time in the examination-in-chief by P.w.3, there is no whisper in regard to the said incidents in the FIR lodged by mother of the deceased viz. P.w.3. After properly considering her evidence in the light of the surrounding circumstances, the trial court has recorded a finding that her evidence does not inspire confidence. The marriage was performed in the year 1998. According to P.w.3. the harassment of the deceased at the hands of the accused started within eight days of the marriage, for the reason that a cot was not presented to the accused at the time of marriage. This is also absent in the FIR. The deceased and the accused no.1 Vinod have a son and a daughter born out of the marital wedlock and they are staying with the accused. 2. Perused the impugned judgment. The same goes to take a possible view of the matter, which does not call for any interference at the hands of this court. Hence application for leave to file an appeal against the acquittal is rejected. ....
