Krishna Govind Sohale 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 (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. The applicant herein is the husband of the deceased.
2.

Ld. Adv. for the applicant has submitted that there are no
allegations with respect to demand of money. There is no prior police
complaint against the applicant. Previous bail application of the applicant
was rejected when the investigation was still in progress. Investigation is
over and charge­sheet has been filed. Applicant is 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 applicant. If he is released
on bail, there are chances of his tampering with prosecution witnesses.
Applicant is the prime accused. Merely filing of charge­sheet does not
amount to change in circumstances.
