1 BA-402.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.402 OF 2011 1. Manorama @ Sunanda Ganesh Jondhale & 2. Ganesh Kondiba Jondhale .... Applicants Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Shri V.V. Purwant for the Applicants. Ms Alpa T. Javeri, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: APRIL 06, 2011 P.C: This is an application for bail by the parents in-law of the victim who died of burn injuries on 15-8-2010. In the first two dying declarations, the victim had stated that she accidentally caught fire while cooking and suffered the burn injuries. Thereafter, on 12-8-2010 two more dying declarations were recorded in which the victim stated that her husband tied her to a chair and applicant No.2, the father in-law, poured kerosene and then she was set on fire. This story was rejected by the prosecution while filing charge-sheet since the prosecution did not find any supporting 2 BA-402.11 evidence to show that the victim was in fact murdered by being burnt. Therefore, these dying declarations have no value. Considering this, merely because the victim had talked to her father a day prior to the incident on telephone and asked her father to come soon, it does not follow that the victim was provoked by the applicants into commission of suicide. In any case, that is a matter which the learned trial Judge would look into. The applicants being in custody for the purpose of investigation or trial may not be necessary. The application is allowed. Both the applicants be released on bail in C.R. No.I-246/2010 of Shantinagar Police Station, Bhiwandi, District Thane on their furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- each with one or more solvent sureties in the sum aggregating toRs.25,000/- per applicant. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
