Sunita was married to Narayan Gunjal. The accused Kailash, husband of Narayan\u2019s sister was held responsible for pouring kerosene on Sunita, and setting her on fire. It was held that Narayan and his sister had a dispute regarding the share in the property of their deceased father. Thus, the accused claimed that his in-laws had set Sunita on fire and tried to shift the blame on him. It was stated that the accused often forced Sunita to seek divorce from his husband because she could not conceive. Thus, once in the evening of 28<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0February, the accused after quarrelling with Sunita poured kerosene on her and set her on fire, after which Sunita poured water on her, and thereafter was taken to hospital by her mother-in-law and husband. Till then she had already suffered 70 percent burn injuries. In the Civil Hospital, Nashik, three different people recorded the dying declaration of Sunita. Interestingly, all the three dying declarations were different from each other, also the prosecution was unable to provide substantial evidence against the accused, Kailash. This led the Sessions Court Judge to believe that the dying declarations of Sunita were made by her under the pressure of her in-laws.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Appellant%E2%80%99s_Contention\"><\/span><strong>Appellant\u2019s Contention<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The Additional Sessions Judge, Niphad, has come to a decision upon hearing both the sides and scrutinizing the statements of the witness\u2019s produced, and the dying declaration of Sunita, and other evidence. Thus, there is no error on part of the Sessions Court Judge.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Respondent%E2%80%99s_Contention\"><\/span><strong>Respondent\u2019s Contention<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The accused, Kailash, stated that there was a dispute between him and Narayan, regarding the share of property between his (Kailash) wife and his brother, over his father-in-law\u2019s property.\u00a0<\/li><li>The prosecution does not have substantial evidence against the accused.\u00a0<\/li><li>The dying declaration which was produced as an evidence cannot be considered as that the victim, Sunita, made different declarations during different times.\u00a0<\/li><li>The thirteen witnesses produced by the prosecution were not valid.\u00a0<\/li><li>Sunita\u2019s death may be a result of suicidal action or an accidental death.\u00a0<\/li><li>Sunita might have been set on fire by her mother-in-law and husband, as Sunita\u2019s mother had stated that 8 days before the incident took place, Sunita came to her mother\u2019s house and while staying there had asked for a sum of Rs 5000 which was demanded by her husband.
