Mr. V.H.Dighe, APP for State. ... CORAM: K.U.CHANDIWAL, J. DATE:31/3/2011 1. Heard. The accused/applicant, husband of Rekha, in custody from 21.2.2011, seeks bail. 2. The prosecution case projects that wife of the accused/applicant suspected that Nilawati had illicit relations with her husband accused Vilas. Consequent upon this, Rekha called Nilawati at her home somewhere on 14th Feb.,2011. She was abused. Rekha, allegedly, sprinkled water mixed with spice and, thereafter, again on 16th Feb.,2011, Rekha again called deceased Nilawati, abused her, threw chilly powder in her eyes and even inflicted it at her private parts ( in Marathi written as 'AVAGHAD 2 CR.APL NO.1218/2011 JAGA"). This was eradicated by assistance of others. 3. Due to above affair and above events, deceased Nilawati, being mentally depressed, committed suicide on 19.2.2011, in the early morning. 4. Taking these aspects into consideration, very minimal role is allegedly played by the accused/applicant Vilas in the affairs of Nilawati ending her life. Primarily, the abetment attributable to the accused/applicant is scanty and illogical. Further custody not warranted even if investigation is in progress. The nature of accusations, and even considering severity of punishment, and chances of case turning into conviction, the accused/applicant deserves bail. 5. The accused/applicant Vilas be released on his furnishing P.R. bond and surety in the sum of Rs.15,000/- ( Rs. fifteen thousand). The accused/applicant, after his release, shall attend the investigator on every alternate Saturday between 3 p.m. to 6 3 CR.APL NO.1218/2011 p.m. till filing of chargesheet. He will assist the investigator whenever so commanded. Application allowed in above terms. (K.U.CHANDIWAL) JUDGE ... AGP/1218-11crapl
