divorce and were not living together. That the applicant had given Talaq to Shabana four months prior to executing the document before the Notary. According to the learned counsel, the deceased Shabana was residing with her parents since they had divorced and, therefore, the first informant and his parents have concocted a false story to implicate the present applicant. He has placed implicit reliance on the said document. Upon perusal of the notarized document, it appears that a Non-Judicial Stamp paper has been purchased by one S.S.Ansari on 12.6.2012 and the document was purportedly executed on 8.7.2012. Upon a query to the learned APP as to why statement of the Notary was not recorded, the learned APP has offered the explanation that in the course of investigation, there was nothing to indicate that such a document was executed between the parties. There was no witness to that effect and, therefore, there was no reason for enquiring into the said document specially after they had recorded the statement of an independent witness who had specifically stated that they were living together and they were living as his neighbour. The said document has been filed for the first time ini the Bail Application. A contention was raised before the Sessions Court that the matrimonial relations were strained due to immoral and infamous life of the victim. The learned Sessions Judge had rightly rejected the said contention.
