Bombay High Court:<\/strong> Convicting a person under Section 304 Part I of Penal Code, 1860 Division Bench of Sadhana S. Jadhav and Sarang V. Kotwal, JJ., held that,<\/p>\n

On finding that there was no hope that his beloved wife would return to matrimonial abode, accused got enraged an lost self-control and assaulted his wife with whatever available just nearby.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Appellant was convicted for the offence under Section 302 of the Penal Code, 1860.<\/p>\n

Factual Matrix<\/span><\/h3>\n

Appellant was married to the deceased Kamal in 2002, in 2015 PW 4 sister of Kamal lodged a report alleging that her sister had disclosed to her that her husband suspected her chastity and was harassing and ill-treating her.<\/p>\n

Later, accused had called upon PW4 and enquired about the whereabout of his wife, however, PW4 had feigned ignorance about the whereabouts of Kamal and then a missing complaint was filed by him.<\/p>\n

It was also stated that Kamal had refused to return her matrimonial abode and thereafter, she was assaulted by the accused with pestle.<\/p>\n

Analysis, Law and Decision<\/span><\/h3>\n

Bench noted that the present case of the prosecution was that the accused was insisting upon his wife to return to her rightful matrimonial abode with a hope that the crises would be ironed. Though the deceased denied the offer.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was as if, there was no hope for the accused that his beloved wife would return with him and being enraged and deprived of self-control, had assaulted his wife with whatever available just nearby.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In view of the above, Court stated that it would be necessary to read the mind of the offender and not consider the offence devoid of emotions.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the accused would fall under Section 304 Part I of the Penal Code, 1860 and accused deserved to be acquitted of offence punishable under Section 302 IPC.<\/p>\n

Appeal was disposed of accordingly. [Ankush Krishna Chavan v. State of Maharashtra, 2021 SCC OnLine Bom 3022<\/b><\/a>, decided on 22-09-2021]<\/p>\n
