3. The applicant herein was married to first informant Yogita

Rasal in the year 2012. They have a daughter from the said

wedlock. Said Yogita Rasal lodged the first information report

alleging that since her marriage, the applicant and his family

members have been demanding dowry and subjecting her to cruelty.

She has further stated that in the year 2018 the applicant and his

family members drove her and her daughter out of the matrimonial

house. Based on the said FIR the aforesaid crime has been registered

against the applicant, his parents, brothers and other family

members.

4. The records prima facie reveal that there is matrimonial distort

between the applicant and his wife. The applicant herein had issued

a legal notice dated 26th May, 2017. The said notice prima facie

indicates that the first informant has been residing with her parents

since 18.9.2015. The applicant herein had also lodged a complaint

before the Head of the Community alleging that the first informant

had left the house on 18 th September, 2015 and that she has refused

that the first informant was residing with her parents for over three

years prior to lodging of the FIR and that during these three years

she had not lodged any complaint against the applicant and his

family members. Furthermore, a perusal of the FIR prima facie

reveals that the allegations leveled against the applicant are general

in nature.

2018. The learned Counsel for the applicant submits that the

applicant has already reported to the Investigating Officer and that

he has been interrogated. The learned APP also submitted that the

investigation is almost concluded and that the chargesheet will be

filed within 15 days.

6. Considering the above facts and circumstances, in my

considered view, the presence of the applicant is not required for

custodial interrogation. The applicant is a permanent resident of

Panvel and there are no chances of his absconding or thwarting the

course of justice. There are no criminal antecedents against the

applicant.
