The  accused   tried   for   the  offences  punishable  U/section  498­A and 306  r. w. sec. 34 of the Indian Penal Code.  2 2. The prosecution's case in brief, is as under: Annasaheb   Laxman   Yadav,   R/o   Rajpimpri   Tq.   Georai  lodged report to P. S.O. Police Station Georai on 28.10.2009 at about  07­00 p.m. According to his report his second daughter Vaishali was  given in marriage to accused No. 1.   Their marriage was solemnized  before 7 years. She was cohabiting with accused No. 1 in his joint family  alongwith accused No. 2 and 3 who are his parents. During wedlock she  has begotten two sons namely Dnyaneshwar and Vishal. The accused  treated his daughter properly near about 4 years after the marriage.  According   to   his   further   report   thereafter   all   accused  started harassing and giving ill­treatment to his daughter saying her that  they disliked her, they were asking her not to stay at their house, they  were busing and used to cause her to starve and she was driven out  from their house. She was telling said ill­treatment to them whenever  she had been to their house. However he was pacifying his daughter as  well as accused and used to send her back to her matrimonial home.  According to his further report he has fetched his daughter  was last Diwali festival. At that time she again reported to him, his wife,  brother  and nephew  that  all   the  accused were  asking her   that   they  disliked her and she shall not stay at their home, abused and driven out  of   house.   After   Diwali   festival   he   sent   his   daughter   back   to   her  matrimonial   home   on   24.10.2009   and   pacified   the   accused   and  returned   back.   On   27.10.2009   due   to   harassment   his   daughter  committed   suicide   by   jumping   into  well.   Therefore  on  next   day   he  lodged  this report  3. On the basis of his report, crime bearing No. 228/2009 was  registered U/sec. 498­A and 306 r.w. Sec. 34 of the Indian Penal Code.  Prior   to   that   Accidental   death   was   registered   bearing   no.54/2009.  During inquiry of Accidental Death panchnama of place of incident was  drawn by police.  So also   inquest  panchnama of  her  dead body was  prepared and dead body was referred for Post Mortem examination at  Rural Hospital, Georai. After registration of crime,  Investigating Officer  mailto:dz-398@2008 3 Sessions Case No.06/2011 recorded statement of witnesses  and after due investigation, submitted  charge­sheet before Learned Judicial Magistrate First  Class Georai who  has committed case and accused to this Court. 4. I framed charge at Exh. 4.   Charges were read over and  explained to accused in vernacular to which they pleaded not guilty and  claimed to be tried.  To   prove   the   guilt   of   the   accused,   prosecution   has  examined P. W. 1 Annasaheb Laxman Yadav, father of the deceased,  P. W. 2 Arjun Laxman Yaav, uncle of deceased and P.W.3 Balasaheb  Bade,   Police   Head   Constable.   On   behalf   of   accused   they   admitted  panchnama Exh.15  of   the  place  of   the   incident,   inquest  panchnama  Exh.16   and   Post  Mortem   Report   Exh.17   and   thereupon   prosecution  closed it's evidence vide pursis Exh. 31.   As   there   was   no   incriminating   evidence   against   the  accused, the statements of accused under Section 313 of Cr. P. C. are  dispensed with.  The defence of the accused is of total denial and false  prosecution.  5. Heard   learned A.  P.  P.  Mr.  D.  U.  Dalvi         and   learned  advocate   Mr. G. B. Kolhe.  6.            The   following  points   arise   for  my determination  &  my  findings thereon are as under:­        POINTS                                       FINDINGS 1 Does   prosecution prove that, accused No. 1 being  husband and accused No. 2 and 3 being parents of  accused   No.1,     in   furtherance   of   their   common  intention, subjected Vaishali wife of accused No.1,  within period of three years before 27.10.2009 to  cruelty  of such a nature to cause her to commit her  suicide by saying her that they disliked her, she shall  not stay at their house and she was driven out from  their   house,   and   thereby   committed   an   offence  punishable  under   section  498­A   r/w  s.  34  of   the  Indian Penal Code ?  ... No 4 2 Secondly   does   the   prosecution   prove   that,   on  27.10.2009   at   about   06­30   a.m.   at   village  Gangawadi Vaishali   committed suicide by jumping  into   the  well  and accused abetted  her   to   commit  suicide   and   thereby   committed   an   offence  punishable U/sec. 306 r.  w. sec.  34 of  the Indian  Penal Code ? ... No. 3 What order ? … As per   final  order.             REASONS. AS TO POINTS No.1 and 2: 7. By   perusing   the     inquest   panchnam   Exh.   16   and   Post  Mortem Report Exh.17, it shows that death of Vaishali was caused due  to cardio respiratory arrest due to asphyxia due to drowning. Her dead  body  was   found   in   the  well   and  thereafter   inquest  panchnama was  drawn. There  is  no explanation given by  the accused or  there  is  no  defence of the accused that she accidentally fell in the well. Therefore  firstly I have no hesitation to hold that Vaishali has committed suicide. 8. Next question arises as to whether accused abetted her to  commit suicide by giving mental and physical ill­treatment as well as  she  was   subjected   to   cruelty   as  defined  under   section  498­A  of   the  Indian   Penal   Code   Though   there   are   some   allegations   in   the   First  Information Report which are of also general nature that all the accused  were asking Vaishali that, “they dislike her, she shall not stay at their  home, they were abusing her, causing her to starve, she was repeatedly  driven out from the house”. There are such repeated allegations in the  First Information Report by giving separate two instances. The contents  of the First Information Report are not substantial piece of evidence.  First   Information   Report   is   to   be   used   for   corroboration   with   the  evidence given by the witnesses. Therefore question arises as to whether  the witnesses have given to prove that she was subjected to cruelty by  accused. The material evidence is only of her father and uncle. They  have deposed that Vaishali was married with accused No. 1 before 7  years. She was cohabiting in joint family of accused. She has begotten  mailto:dz-398@2008 5 Sessions Case No.06/2011 two sons Dnyaneshwar and Vishal during wedlock. At the time of the  incident Dnyaneshwar was of 6 years whereas Vishal was about 3 years.  They   both   have   further   deposed   that   Vaishali   was   leading   happy  married life. They have further deposed that 2 years back Vaishali fell  down in well and died.  They   have   not   supported   the   case   of   the  prosecution.  Therefore   they both declared hostile.  They have  denied  suggestions   of   learned   A.P.P.   that   4   years   after   marriage   she   was  subjected to cruelty by accused saying her that they disliked her, she  shall not stay at their home, she was bused and beaten, some time she  was driven out from their house. Thus all material allegations within  frame   of   definition  of   cruelty  have   been   denied   by   both  witnesses.  Therefore for whatsoever may be the reason it is fact that there is no  evidence against the accused to prove charges of subjecting cruelty or  abetment to commit her to suicide. Thus the prosecution has failed to  prove both charges levelled against the accused. Accordingly I answer  both   points   in   negative   by   which   accused   are   entitled   to   acquittal.  Hence I proceed to pass the following order.     ORDER I. Accused No. 1   Ram Vitthal Nawlae,   accused  No.   2   Vitthal   Tukaram   Nawale   and   accused  No.3  Dwarkabai  Vithal  Nawale       are  hereby  acquitted   of   the   offence     punishable   under  Sections 498­A, 306 and 306  r/w S. 34 of the  Indian Penal Code. II. Their bail bonds stand cancelled                           Sd/­                                                   ( B.R. Datir ) Date : 21/11/2011.                      Additional Sessions Judge,                     Beed.     Does prosecution prove that, accused No. 1 being husband and accused No. 2 and 3 being parents of accused No.1, in furtherance of their common intention, subjected Vaishali wife of accused No.1, within period of three years before 27.10.2009 to cruelty of such a nature to cause her to commit her suicide by saying her that they disliked her, she shall not stay at their house and she was driven out from their house, and thereby committed an offence punishable under section 498-A r/w s. 34 of the Indian Penal Code ? ... No Secondly does the prosecution prove that, on 27.10.2009 at about 06-30 a.m. at village Gangawadi Vaishali committed suicide by jumping into the well and accused abetted her to commit suicide and thereby committed an offence punishable U/sec. 306 r. w. sec. 34 of the Indian Penal Code ? ... No. What order ? … As per final order. Accused No. 1 Ram Vitthal Nawlae, accused No. 2 Vitthal Tukaram Nawale and accused No.3 Dwarkabai Vithal Nawale are hereby acquitted of the offence punishable under Sections 498-A, 306 and 306 r/w S. 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Their bail bonds stand cancelled
