Mr. P.A.Kulkarni, Advocate for the applicant Mr. S.G.Nandedkar, APP for respondent State ....... [CORAM : A.V.POTDAR, J.] DATE: 26th July 2010 PER COURT: 1. By the present application, the applicant has prayed to release him on bail in connection with CR No.22/2010 registered with Ashti police station, Dist-Beed for an offence punishable u/s 307 of the Indian Penal Code, as the applicant is in jail since 08.04.2010. 2. It is informed that in the said offence, charge sheet has been field before JMFC, Partur, Dist-Jalna on 15th June 2010. Learned counsel for applicant is unable to inform as to whether the case is committed to the Court of Sessions or not. {2} 3. Heard learned counsel for the applicant followed by learned APP. Perused the papers of investigation. 4. This offence is registered on the basis of a complaint lodged by one Mandabai on 7th April 2010. The complainant is sister in law of the applicant. Admittedly, the applicant has married with victim Ashamati. It appears that as there was constant torture and harassment from the applicant, Ashamati has lodged a complaint with Womens Grievance Redressal Forum and thereafter started living with her parents. The complainant, who was in advance stage of pregnancy, had also been to the house of her parents. The complaint discloses that on 7th April 2010 in the afternoon applicant had been to the house of parents of his wife. It is alleged that in the afternoon he took out a quarrel with his wife and all of a sudden took out a scythe and gave repeated blows on the head and chick of his wife and when the complainant tried to intervene, she was also assaulted, she sustained 2 grievous injuries, so also one little girl, by name Jyoti was also not spared by the applicant and she was also assaulted. All the three injured persons were shifted to a hospital and thereafter complaint was lodged in the night at about 9.40 pm. 5. It is urged that the applicant is falsely implicated in this offence to further substantiate the complaint lodged with Womens Grievance Redressal Forum about harassment by the {3} applicant to his wife. It is further contended that as now the investigation is over, further detention of the applicant is not necessary and hence it is requested to release him on bail. 6. Papers of investigation indicate that there are 3 injured persons, who have witnessed the incident. As the incident has occurred in a broad day light there shall not be any mistaken identity about identification of the applicant and role alleged against him. If the applicant has dared to go to the house of the his in laws and assault three ladies by collecting weapon from the house of his father in law and if the applicant is released on bail, then there is every likelihood of danger to the life of the injured eye witnesses. Considering this aspect, no case is made out to enlarge the applicants on bail. In the result, the application which is sans merits, stands rejected. [A.V.POTDAR, J.] drp/B10/criapln2644-10
