Shubhada Khot for the applicants. Mr. P.S. Hingorani, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the State. CORAM: BILAL NAZKI & ANOOP V. MOHTA , JJ. DATE: JANUARY 29, 2009 P.C. These are two applications filed or grant of bail by two accused in Criminal Appeal No. 723 of 2008. One of the accused has already been granted bail on 7th October, 2008. 2. We have perused the record and seen the statement of witnesses. -2- It appears that when the occurrence took place, which resulted in the death of the deceased, husband of the deceased was not present in the house. The father-in-law was in another room. Prima facie, it appears that only the father- in-law was present at the place of occurrence. A diary of the deceased has also been exhibited which also prima facie shows no involvement of the husband of the deceased. 3. Therefore, while rejecting the application of father in law- Pralhadchandra V. Mane (original accused no.4), applicant in Criminal Application No. 1344 of 2008, we allow the application for bail of the husband of the deceased i.e. Vishalchandra P. Mane (original accused No.1), applicant in Criminal Application No. 75 of 2009, in the sum of Rs. 20,000/- with two sureties of the equivalent amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court. He shall also remain present in Court whenever the appeal comes up for hearing. BILAL NAZKI, J. ANOOP V. MOHTA, J.
