1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 2412 OF 2006 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. Shri R.M. Daga, Advocate for the applicant. Shri S.J. Jichkar, APP for the respondent. CORAM : B.R. GAVAI, J. 10TH AUGUST, 2006 This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant has been arrested in connection with the Crime No. 14/2006 for the offence punishable under Sections 143, 307 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code. Heard the learned Counsel for the parties. It is the allegation of the prosecution that on 29th January, 2006, the deceased Sheela was encircled by the accused and kerosene was poured on her person and she was set on fire. Shri S.J. Jichkar, the learned APP vehemently opposes the application on the ground that the applicant is involved in serious offence. However, it is to be noted that the case of the prosecution rests solely on the two dying declarations of the deceased. One before the Executive Magistrate and one oral dying declaration 2 made to her son. In that view of the matter, there is no possibility of applicant of influencing the witnesses and tampering with the evidence. The other accused in the same crime are already released on bail. The application is allowed. (1) The applicant is directed to be released on bail in connection with Crime No. 14 of 2006 registered by the Police Station, Manora on furnishing his bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (rupees twenty-five thousand only) with one or more sureties in the like amount.
