The three applicants seek anticipatory bail in connection with C.R. No.I/151 of 2010 registered with Kharghar Police Station for the offences punishable under Sections 498A, 306 read with Section 34 Indian Penal code at the instance of one, Priyanka wife of applicant * 2 * Cri.Appln-3676-2010 no.1. Applicant no.2 is the brother of applicant no.1 and applicant no.3 is the wife of applicant no.2. The marriage of applicant no.1 and Priyanka had taken place on 3rd April, 2010. After the marriage she claims to have informed applicant no.1 about the medical advise given to her against having any physical relations. This had upset applicant no.1 and he had assaulted her. Thereafter, the applicant used to often allegedly assault and abuse her over household matters. It is alleged that applicants no.2 and 3 also harassed her, though, particulars of the harassment are not stated. On 11th June, 2010 at about 8.30 p.m. a telephone call was received from a cousin of Priyanka. Applicant no.2 who had picked the call, told the cousin that Priyanka was not at home. When Priyanka questioned her for lying over the telephone, the applicant quarreled with her and abused her. Therefore, on 12th June 2010 at about 12.00 pm, Priyanka locked herself in a room, poured kerosene over her body and set herself on fire. The fire was extinguished by her in-laws and she was taken to the hospital. On the same day, she filed complaint with the police under Section 498-A read with Section 34 Indian Penal Code. The applicants came to be arrested on 12th June, 2010 * 3 * Cri.Appln-3676-2010 and were released on bail on 15th June, 2010. After the complainant succumbed to the burn injuries on 25th June, 2010 the police added charge under Section 306 Indian Penal Code to the complaint filed and applied for cancellation of the bail. The application for cancellation of bail also alleged that the applicants had violated one of the conditions of bail of attending the police station on each Monday till filing of the charge-sheet. 2. The learned counsel for the applicants, states that there was only one date i.e. on 28th June, 2010 that was missed by the applicants in attending the police station. This was on account of death of Priyanka on 25th June, 2010. He also points out that the returnable date of the notice of application for cancellation of bail was too short. The application was filed on 7th July, 2010 and the date on which the notice was made returnable was 8th July, 2010. The notice came to be served on 8th July, 2010 and before the applicants could rush to the court to oppose the application, the order had been passed. 3. Taking into consideration the above facts and circumstances of the case, it is obvious that the custodial interrogation of the * 4 * Cri.Appln-3676-2010 applicants is not required by the police. Hence, the application is allowed. In the event of arrest of the applicants in connection with C.R. No.I/151 of 2010 registered with Kharghar Police Station, they be released on P.R. Bond of Rs.15000/- (Rs. Fifteen Thousand Only) each with one surety in the like amount. The applicants are further directed to strictly comply with the bail conditions imposed in the order dated 15th June, 2010. [SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA, J]
