{1} IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2104 OF 2010 Balbhim s/o Vasant Nagde & another APPLICANTS VERSUS The State of Maharashtra RESPONDENT ....... Mr. Suhas Ghute h/f Mr.N.B.Ghute, Advocate for the applicants Mr. K.S.Patil, APP for respondent State ....... [CORAM : A.V.POTDAR, J.] DATE: 22nd June 2010 PER COURT: 1. By the present application, the applicants, who are husband and mother in law of the deceased Renuka, have prayed to release them on bail in connection with CR No.185/2009 registered with Omerga police station, Dist-Osmanabad, as the applicants are arrested on 24th November 2009. It is informed that in the present case, after completion of the investigation, charge sheet has been filed on 16th February 2009 before JMFC, Omerga. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned APP. {2} 3. Perusal of the papers of investigation discloses that deceased Renuka was bunt by the present applicants as she could not satisfy their illegal demand of dowry. The incident occurred in the early hours of 24th November 2009 at the matrimonial house of deceased Renuka. Admittedly, marriage of deceased Renuka was performed with applicant No.1 prior to only 6 months of the incident. This indicates that the poor victim was yet to know what is marriage and what is matrimonial life and before that she was burnt alive by the applicants. 4. The Post Moretm report shows that the death of Renuka caused due to 82 % burn injuries sustained by her. In the premise, the complaint which is registered on the basis of the dying declaration of the deceased is to be believed wherein she has stated that the applicants have poured kerosene on her person and she was set on fire. In the cases of bride burning that too within a very short span, the applicants do not deserve any leniency. Though it is urged that now the investigation is over and the charge sheet has been filed, yet considering the overall effect, the applicants do not deserve liberty. Consequently, the application, which is devoid of any merit, stands rejected. [A.V.POTDAR, J.] drp/B10/criapln2104-10
