    a mason lodged a complaint before the Police Inspector,

    Bendigerl Police Station, Hubli. He has stated that he

    resides in his house along with his wife Eramma and

    Gynawwa were also residing with them. He states that

    they are three brothers and he is the last one. His elder

    brother Dharmappa resides at Sonla Gandhi Ashraya

    Colony in an independent house along with his wife

    Laxmawwa and his son Umesh.                 Dhannappa was

    working as a Group 'U employee in the Hubli-Dharwad

    Municipal Corporation.            It is also stated in the

    complaint that his elder brother Dharmappa was having

    illicit    relationship   with    another   women,    in   this

    connection, he used to quarrel with his wife and son,

    but Dharmappa denied these allegations.              His elder

    brother's son Umesh was studying in PUC and he was

    not attending the college regularly. His brother used to

    narrate about this to him. It is stated that on

He has deposed that since the deceased had illicit relationship with some other woman, accused Nos. 1 and 2 were not in good terms with the deceased. His evidence Is that the deceased informed him that both the accused were picking up quarrel In the background of alleged illicit relationship with some other woman Is not under specific challenge. Though it is brought out In the cross-examination of PW1 that he does not know the family affairs of the deceased, It is significant to note that the suggestion made to him to the effect that the deceased had illicit relationship with one Laxmi and that whenever accused No.1 was visiting Bellary, one Laxml of Heggeri used to reside In the house of deceased. This suggestion made to him specifically establishes that the deceased had Illicit relationship with Laxml. Though It Is not brought out by the prosecution that the deceased was having illicit relationship with the said Laxmi, it. is brought out by the accused in thc cross-examination of P.Ws. 1. 2 and CrI.A.No.382/2008 :28: 14 that the deceased had illicit relationship with Laxml. It is In the evidence of PW2 that he came to know through the deceased that the accused Nos. 1 and 2 were not keeping good relationship with the deceased in the background of the illicit relationship with one lady.

Suggestion was made to him suggesting that the deceased had illicit relationship with Laxmi and that the deceased expressed with him that Laxmi repeatedly brought pressure on the deceased to marry Laxmi. These answers brought out in the cross-examination of PW2 further amply supports the motive attributed by the prosecution. The evidence of PW14 is that the deceased and accused No. 1 were not in good terms In the background of Illicit relationship of the deceased with some other woman. It is In his evidence that he was informed by accused No.1 that the deceased 0 1 N V a u C 1-
