The State of Maharashtra & Anr. ... Respondents Mr. R.V. Gupta for the Applicants. Mr. K.V. Saste, APP, for the Respondents. CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 9 TH AUGUST, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard. 2. I have gone through the F.I.R. and the annexures to the Bail Application. 3. The Applicants are the accused in C.R. No. I-519 of 2010 registered at Nallasopara Police Station in respect of offences punishable under Sections 302 IPC and 201 IPC read with Section 34 of the IPC. Two small children – Om, aged about 5 years, and Ritika, aged about 2 years – were murdered by the Applicants and the other accused. That the children have died an unnatural death due to violent asphyxia cannot be doubted at this stage. However, as per the prosecution case itself, the children were assaulted, their limb and chest was pressed in the belief that some evil spirit, which had entered into the body of the said children, was to be driven out. This belief in the mind of the Applicants and the other accused was created by one Smt. Himanshu alias Dolly, who is also an accused in this case. BA-1077-11.sxw 2 Dixit 4. Two of the other accused have already been released on bail by me (Criminal Bail Application No.459 of 2011, decided on 27th June, 2011). The case of the present Applicants cannot be treated very differently from that of the said accused. 5. Considering all the relevant aspects of the matter, I am inclined to release the Applicants on bail. 6. The Bail Application is allowed. 7. The Applicants are ordered to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.30,000/- each, with one surety in like amount, or two sureties in the sum of Rs.15,000/- each. [A.M. THIPSAY, J.]
