(Or.Exh.1)
Order Below Exh.1 in Cri.Bail Appln.No.522/2022
CNR No.MHNS010020462022
Krishna Govind Sohale & another Vs. State.
Heard:
1.

Ld. Adv. Mr. G. L. Bodke for the applicant/
accused.
Ld. A.P.P. Ms. S. S. Sangle for the State.

This is an application under section 439 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure in Crime No. 87/2022 registered at Police station,
Satpur, Nashik for the offence punishable under sections 498­A, 306, 323,
504 & 506 r.w. Sec. 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. It is the case of
prosecution in brief that the accused/applicants (husband and father­in­law
of the deceased) inflicted physical and mental cruelty on her due to which
she committed suicide. It is alleged that the victim had undergone three
miscarriages and that the accused persons used to harass her and tell her
that they will get her husband married to someone else if she is unable to
retain her pregnancy.
2.

Ld. Adv. for the applicants has submitted that there are no
allegations with respect to demand of money. There is no prior police
complaint against the applicants. Material part of the investigation is over
and charge­sheet is about to be filed. Applicants are ready to abide by the
terms and conditions imposed by the court.
3.

Per contra, Ld. A.P.P. has opposed the bail application on the
ground that there is prima­facie case against the applicants. If they are
released on bail, there are chances of them tampering with prosecution
witnesses. The entire investigation is not yet over. Husband (applicant No.
1) is the prime accused.
