Mr. R.D. Biradar, Advocate for assisting the APP. CORAM : T.V. NALAWADE, J.
DATED : 7th January, 2015.
ORDER :
1.
The application is filed for relief of anticipatory bail. Both the sides are heard. This Court has perused the papers of investigation.
2.
The crime is registered on the basis of report given by one Smt. Meena. Her husband Ram owned some amount from Dnyaneshwar Telenge and others like present applicants and due to that there used to be quarrels. Allegations are made that on one occasion, her husband was taken away and detained
for recovery of amount, but the matter was settled as the husband had promised to return the amount. It is contended that on 18.7.2014, the matter was settled, but on 31.7.2014 Munna Padature, associate of the applicants, gave threat to her husband and he said that he should transfer the landed property in lieu of the amount. The husband became afraid and he left the station. On 15.8.2014 when she was at home Munna Padature and Dnyaneshwar Telenge again visited her house and made inquiry about her husband. As her husband was not at home, she called her father, deceased, to her residential place to give the company. Due to the conduct of these persons her father became frightened. On 22.9.2014 he left the house of the complainant by saying that he was returning to his native place, but he did not reach the native place. On 23.9.
2014, they realized that he committed suicide due to harassment of applicants. The papers of investigation show that with the dead body suicide note was found in which the present applicants and others like Munna Padature are blamed by the deceased for his suicide.
3.
It appears that out of the aforesaid incident the case for offence punishable under section 306, 34 etc. of I.P.C. is registered and bail is granted to the associates of the present
applicants by this Court. There are specific allegations made against the present applicants who are the associates and relatives of the other two persons in the suicide note and suicide note was found with the dead body. In view of these circumstances this Court holds that it is not a fit case to grant relief of anticipatory bail. Custodial interrogation is necessary as applicants and their associates had done aforesaid act of abduction even prior to the present incident. 4.
In the result, the application is rejected. Interim relief granted in favour of applicants is vacated.
5.
A request was made to continue the interim relief granted earlier for some time. But, no such relief is given. 6.
Application filed for assisting the learned APP is allowed and disposed of.
