DATE : 14/11/2008 DATE : 14/11/2008 DATE : 14/11/2008 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard Mr.Shinde, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr.Saste, learned APP, for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.I-40 of 2008 of Jaikheda Police Station, Tal.Malegaon, Dist-Nashik. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302.498-A r/w 34 of IPC. According to the prosecution, the applicant along with his mother and brother have killed the deceased Bharati, the wife of the applicant, by pushing her in the well and she died of drowning. In the alleged incident, the daughter of the deceased, aged two years, also died. The offence is registered against the applicant on the basis of an FIR lodged by the father of the deceased.In FIR he has expressed doubt against the applicant, his mother and his brother solely on the basis that though the deceased had already died, the applicant had informed him and other relatives that the deceased was serious. Except this, there does not appear to be any other material to connect the applicant with the offence of murder. In the circumstances, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. It is pertinent to note that the mother and the brother of the applicant have already been released on bail. Hence, the order. . The applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.35,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that the applicant 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.
