Mr.S.S.Tatkare,APP. for the State. CORAM : R.S.MOHITE,J. DATED : 3/4/2006. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. This is an application for grant of leave to file an appeal against the acquittal of the Respondent No.1 Mr.Arun Bhatia for an offence under Section 500 of the I.P.C. 2. I have heard the Advocate and perused the impugned judgment and seen the allegedly defamatory article appearing in Daily Sakal on 2.6.1999. In my view, there is no defamatory statement as against the complainant. The statement attributed to the respondent No.1 was of general nature. :2: The name of the article is "Persons who had gone on leave" but the names of the persons who had gone on leave have not been reported by the respondent No.1. In my view, the view taken by the trial court is reasonable and possible view. Hence, leave is refused. Consequently the appeal to stand dismissed. (R. S. MOHITE, J.)
