DATE : 01/12/2008 DATE : 01/12/2008 DATE : 01/12/2008 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard Mr Patil, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr Yagnik, learned APP, for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.89 of 2008 of Gawbhag police station, Ichalkarangi, Dist-Kolhapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and two others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302, 498-A read with 34 of IPC. 3. There are two statements of the deceased- Ashwini on record. The applicant is her husband and the other two accused are her in-laws. The mother of the applicant has already been released on bail. I have perused both the dying declarations. In both the dying declarations the deceased has attributed specific role to her father-in-law. She has stated that when she was at home alone, her father-in-law poured kerosene and set her on fire. Allegations against the present applicant and his mother are general in nature. She has stated that all the accused used to suspect her character and on that count she was subjected to harassment by all the accused. I do not find any difference between the accusations against the husband and the mother-in-law. Keeping that in view and considering overall facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant this application for bail. Hence, the following order. . The applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that he shall report to the concerned police station every alternate Saturday between 10 and 11 am till conclusion of the trial. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
