Mr.K.V.Saste APP for the State. Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 17.7.2006. PC 1. This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.193/2006 registered by the Andheri police station for alleged offences under Sections 498-A & 306 of IPC. The applicant has been arrested on 13.5.2006 and has been in custody for a period of over 2 months. The applicant was the husband of the deceased Jyoti. Jyoti was the only daughter of the Complainant. It appears that the Complainant’s family : 2 : was opposing the love marriage but his daughter notwithstanding the opposition got married with the present applicant. It is true that there is some allegation of some demand in February-2006 and March /April 2006. In February-2006 the deceased is said to have come to the house of her present sister Vandana and told her that she has been harassed by her husband and her inlaws and demand has been made for gold ornaments and cash by her father-in-law. In her statement Vandana also talks about demand for purchase of flat. This aspect of the matter when the deceased visited the house of Vandana is not mentioned by the Complainant. Be that as it may, witnesses in this case are all from the family of the deceased and cannot be tampered with. The investigation is practically over. The offence under Section 306 of IPC is not punishable with life. Hence, I am inclined : 3 : to grant bail. It is therefore, directed that pending his trial in connection with C.R.No.193/2006 registered by the Andheri police station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the investigating officer once a week on every Monday till the charge-sheet is filed and thereafter, once a month on every first Monday of the month till the disposal of the trial. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
