DATED : 29TH APRIL, 2009. DATED : 29TH APRIL, 2009. DATED : 29TH APRIL, 2009. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicants are seeking bail in C.R.No.39 of 2008 of Vairag police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicants and three othes for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 306, 498-A, 323, 504 r/w 34 of IPC. 3. The prosecution case, in brief, is that the present applicants and three others have allegedly subjected the deceased to cruelty with view to coercing her to meet their unlawful demand of monies. I have perused the FIR. The allegations against all the five accused are almost similar. The deceased 2 2 2 committed suicide by pouring kerosene and setting herself on fire in the matrimonial house, when, the husband tried to extinguish the fire. Insofar as applicant no.1 is concerned, he is a maternal uncle of the husband and applicant no.2 is a son of his sister. At the relevant time they were not residing with the deceased and her husband. Keeping that in view and considering that all other accused have already been granted bail, I am inclined to grant this application for bail. Hence the following order: . The applicants are directed to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.5,000/- each with one or two sureties in the like amount subject to the condition that the applicants shall report to the concerned police station on the first Saturday of every month between 10 am and 11 am till filing of the charge sheet. . 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 uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. . The application is disposed of. 3 3 3 (D.B.Bhosale, J.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
