The applicant is arrested in C.R.No.204 of 2007 of Pandharpur Taluka Police Station under Section 306, 498A r/w. 34 of Indian Penal Code. The applicant happens to be mother-in-law of deceased Sujata who is alleged to have committed suicide. FIR is filed by Mrs. Laxmi, mother of said deceased as regards illegal demand for money. I have considered the chargesheet and the circumstances under which the said Sujata was put to commit suicide. The applicant is arrested on 16.9.2007 and since then she is in custody. The son of the applicant i.e. husband of Sujata and the husband of the present applicant i.e. father-in-law of Sujata are in custody. 2. Keeping in view the fact that the applicant happens to be a female member, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail as the chances of tampering with the witnesses, as also running away from the trial appear to be rare. She, ofcourse will have to attend the concerned police station till the evidence of mother of Sujata and the near relatives is over. Hence the following Order. ORDER i. Applicant is granted bail in C.R.No.204 of 2007 of Pandharpur Taluka Police Station. ii. It is hereby ordered that the applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with one surety in the like amount. The applicant to execute P.R.Bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only). iii.

If a particular Thursday happens to be the date when she has to appear before the Court, she would attend the concerned police station on the next day i.e. Friday. . Application is disposed of accordingly. (R.Y.Ganoo, J.) (R.Y.Ganoo, J.) (R.Y.Ganoo, J.)
