1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI.APPLICATION NO.2139 OF 2009 Sampada Sukhdev Kadam .. Applicant Vs State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr. Kuldep S.Patil, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr.J.P.Yagnik, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 09/06/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No. 6 of 2009 of Vita police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302, 504 r/w 34 of IPC. 3. It is the prosecution case that on 17.1.2009 at 9 am the present applicant and her two sons, namely, Shankar Kadam and Vishwas @ Chimya Kadam, committed murder of Vidya @ Vishranti, the sister of the complainant and the daughter-in-law of the present applicant. I have perused the FIR and the statements of other witnesses. It appears that Shankar and Vishwas assaulted the deceased with knife. Insofar as the T 2 present applicant is concerned, it is alleged that she was also present at the time of the incident and she instigated her sons for committing the alleged offence. Though in the first part of the FIR no specific role is attributed to her, in the concluding paragraph of the FIR the complainant has stated that the applicant was instigating her sons for committing murder of Vidya. Considering the nature of allegations against the applicant and having regard to the fact that the applicant is 58 years old woman, I am inclined to enlarge her on bail. The applicant-Sampada Sukhdev Kadam is directed to be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the condition that she shall report to the concerned police station on every alternate Saturday between 10 am and 11 am till conclusion of the trial. 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. The application is disposed of. 3 (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) 4
