Heard learned Counsel. Applicant No.1 Govind is said to be 60 years old while applicant no.2 Savitrabai is 55 years old. Applicant no.3 Bharat is husband of deceased Savita. 3. FIR of Savita dt.19.6.2009, indicates, while she was in conscious state of mental 2 condition to make a statement, she has indicted these accused by saying that accused no.1 Govind and Savitrabai instigated Bharat, her husband, to pour kerosene and ignite victim Savita and then they left. It was, thereafter, the husband Bharat ignited her and she suffered burn injuries. She was taken to the hospital by the in- laws by the applicant nos. 1 and 2, including other relations. The incident, as could be seen, does not indicate prima facie of any demand or ill-treatment to the victim, to take extreme step. 4. That apart, in paragraph no.7 of the petition it is indicated that the deceased has left behind a three years old son and a daughter of two years. Nobody is there in the family to look after these two minor children. 5. Considering the role attributed to the present accused/applicants (Govind Wasram Rathod and Savitrabai), in the FIR 3 and the fact situation that they do not have criminal antecedents, the upkeep of the wandering children is also paramount fact, least chance of these applicants influencing the witnesses, hence order: (a) The accused applicants (Govind s/o Wasram Rathod and Savitrabai w/o Govind Rathod be released on their furnishing P.R. bond and surety in the sum of Rs.5,000/- (Rs. five thousand) each, arising out of the Crime No.39/2009, registered at Bori Police Station.
