DATED : 17TH DECEMBER, 2008. DATED : 17TH DECEMBER, 2008. DATED : 17TH DECEMBER, 2008. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicants are seeking bail in C.R.No.54 of 2008 of Vadner Bhairav police station, Taluka Dindori, Dist.Nasik. The said crime has been registered against the applicants and one another for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 498-A and 307 of IPC. 3. I have perused the FIR and all other papers placed on record. There are two dying declarations of the deceased - Kanchan on record. I have perused both the dying declarations. The deceased has specifically stated as to how she sustained burn injuries. She has stated that her mother-in-law poured kerosene and set 2 2 2 her on fire. Both the dying declarations insofar as the allegation against mother-in-law are concerned are consistent. In view thereof Mr.Shinde, learned counsel for the applicant submitted that insofar as the allegations against the applicants are concerned, the provisions of section 498(A) at the most would be attracted. Having considered the nature of allegations against the applicants and specific allegation made against the mother-in-law I am inclined to enlarge all the applicants on bail. Hence the following order: . The applicants to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- each with one or two sureties of the like amount subject to condition that applicant nos.1 and 2 shall report to the concerned police station on every alternate Saturday between 7 and 8 pm till conclusion of the trial. Applicant No.3 shall report to the concerned police station as and when called. The application is disposed of. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order. 3 3 3 (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
