By this application, applicant seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with C.R.No.173 of 2009 registered at Niphad Police Station for an offence punishable u/s.302, 498-A r/w section 34 of the IPC. 3.

The present applicants have not so far been arrested. 3. Learned APP submits that the investigation has been completed and charge-sheet has been filed. In view of this and in view of the fact that the entire evidence is available before the Sessions Court, it would be appropriate to grant temporary protection to the present applicants and direct them to approach the Sessions Court for regular bail. Hence, I pass the following order:- O R D E R In the event the applicants are arrested within 10 days hereof in connection with C.R.No. 173 of 2009 registered at Niphad Police Station, each of them shall be released on bail on their executing P.R bond of Rs.10,000/- with one surety of the like amount.
