Two ladies, who are daughter-in-law and mother-in-law inter se, are before this Court since they are apprehending their arrest in connection with Crime No.316/2019 registered with Karanja Police Station, District Washim for offences punishable under Sections 307, 504, and 506 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2.

Heard learned counsel Shri S.K.Wankhede for applicants and learned Additional Public Prosecutor Shri M.K.Pathan for the State. Also, perused reply filed on behalf of the State and investigating papers.

3.

Crime is registered, in view of report lodged by Pushpa Baban Dhamane on 24.9.2019, with Karanja Police Station, District Washim. Applicant No.1-Dhanshri is wife of Pravin, whereas applicant No.2-Lalita is her mother-in-law. As per the report of complainant Pushpa, Pravin's house is .....2/-

situated near her house. As per the report, quarrel appears to have occurred in view of flowing of waste water. On the said account, there were verbal altercations between Pravin and complainant Pushpa. As per allegations, at that time, Pravin asked his wife to bring an axe which was brought and it was taken by Pravin and he assaulted Pushpa. Further allegation in the report is that applicant No.2-Lalita assaulted on thigh of Pushpa by means of iron rod in her hands. 4.

Investigation papers contain medical certificate of complainant injured Pushpa. Though the said medical certificate shows a deep lacerated wound on the head of Pushpa, which can clearly be attributed to assault made by Pravin, there is no injury on thigh which can be attributed to Lalita.
