Applicant is apprehending 2 arrest in connection with C.R.No.180 of 2006 registered with Badlapur Police Station alleging offence under sections 304B, 306, 498A read with 34 I.P.C. 2. Mother of the deceased Vidya had lodged this F.I.R. Marriage of the brother of the applicant and deceased was solemnised on 12th April 1998. They resided at several places.

Allegations are that the husband of the present applicant had an evil eye as far as deceased is concerned and that applicant had allegedly harassed the deceased along with the other in-laws. 4. None dispute the fact that the present applicant is married and residing separately since 2001. If the allegations in the F.I.R. 3 are perused as a whole, I do not find any necessity of custodial interrogation, as far as present applicant - woman accused. More so, when she is residing at the address mentioned in the cause title along with her family. Her husband, who allegedly had an evil eye on the deceased has already been arrested. In such circumstances, the applicant woman accused deserves pre-arrest bail.
