The alleged offences are under sections 302 and 447 IPC. According to prosecution, petitioner poured acid on the body of deceased, who is the wife of de facto complainant. She died due to severe injury sustained. The incident occurred on 15-1-2002. 3. This is the third application for bail. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that petitioner surrendered before the court on 24-9-2008 and he is in custody for the past 110 days and petitioner is prepared to abide by any condition. The trial has not so far commenced and hence, petitioner may be granted bail. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that he has no objection in granting bail but stringent conditions may be imposed. 3. On hearing both sides and on taking into consideration the fact that petitioner surrendered before the court and also the delay which may occur in disposal of the case, I find that bail can be granted to petitioner on conditions. 4. Hence, petitioner shall be released on bail on his BA 86/09 -2- executing a bond for Rs.50,000/- with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate, on the following conditions:- 1) Petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer on every Monday and Thursday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. until further orders. 2) Petitioner shall not commit any offence while on bail and in case breach of this condition, bail is liable to be cancelled.
