DATE DATE DATE : JUNE 04, 2007 : JUNE 04, 2007 : JUNE 04, 2007 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the learned advocate for the applicant and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.I-19 of 2007 of Murbad Police Station. The said case is under Sections 306 and 498-A r.w.34 of IPC. 3. The learned advocate for the applicant has submitted that the applicant is a lady and she has three minor children. The applicant is the sister in law of deceased Gulabbai. The case of the complainant who is mother of Gulabbai is that the applicant was constantly telling the deceased that she was not cooking properly, she was frequently going to her maternal home and she frequently fell sick. It is further the case of the complainant that in June, 2006 her daughter Gulabbai became [-2-] pregnant and the present applicant told Gulabbai that if she is pregnant, she would not get work hence, she took Gulabbai to the Doctor and got an abortion done. The learned advocate for the applicant has submitted that admittedly the marriage has taken place in May, 2006, hence, it is not possible that in June, 2006, pregnancy came to be known and also terminated by June, 2006. There appears much merit in this submission. Looking to this fact and the fact that the applicant is lady having three minor children, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant. 4. The applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rs.Twenty five thousand only) with one or two sureties to make up the said amount in C.R.No.I-19 of 2007 of Murbad of Police Station. The applicant shall report to the concerned Police Station once in a month till the conclusion of trial. 5. Application is disposed of. [Smt. V.K.Tahilramani, J.]
