1 vks IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.341 OF 2010 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.85 OF 2010 Prakash M. Satpute .. Applicant -versus The State of Maharashtra .. Respondent. Mr. Niranjan Mundargi, for the applicant. Mrs R. Y. Newton, APP for the state. CORAM: V. M. KANADE, J. DATED: 23rd March, 2010 P.C. 1. Heard learned counsel, for the applicant. The learned APP states that the applicant has been convicted for the offence punishable under section 498(A) and 306 of IPC. The appeal is admitted. Applicant has been sentenced to suffer RI for one year and five years for above offences and also directed to pay fine. I have perused the dying declaration of the deceased. In the said dying declaration, she stated that the husband used to suspect her chastity and also did not have sexual intercourse with her and therefore, she poured kerosene and committed sue-side. Admittedly there is no allegation of demand of 2 dowry or any other form of physical assault by the applicant. Taking into consideration the aforesaid circumstances, in my view this is a fit case wherein the applicant be released on the bail in the sum of Rs.5,000/- with one or two sureties of the like amount. The applicant shall report to the concerned police station once in two months. ( V.M. KANADE, J.)
