The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent Mrs.Jayshri Akolkar, Advocate, for the Applicant Mr.Y.M.Nakhawa, APP, for the Respondent - State CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATE : 4TH MARCH, 2011 P.C. . This is an application for anticipatory bail by a husband, who apprehends arrest in connection with C.R.No.125 of 2010 for the offence punishable under Sections 498A, 306 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code registered with Shahuwadi Police Station, Shahuwadi, Kolhapur. 2. His wife committed suicide on 3rd December, 2010. Before that, in June, 2010, 2 ABA 180-2011 the applicant had filed a Divorce Petition against the wife. Wife was admittedly not staying with the husband for over an year before the incident. The learned APP has strong objection to applicant's being released on anticipatory bail, since he states that victim had stated before her death that she was prevented from meeting her children by her husband though she had travelled all the way to Bombay to see her children. This cannot be a ground requiring custodial interrogation of the applicant. 3. In view of this, in the event of arrest, applicant be released on bail on his furnishing P.R.Bond of Rs.25,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the aggregate sum of Rs.25,000/- on the following conditions. (i) The applicant shall report at the Shahuwadi Police Station, Shahuwadi, Kolhapur for interrogation on 10th March, 2011 in between 10.00 a.m.to 1.00 p.m. and thereafter, as and when required by the investigating officer. 3 ABA 180-2011 (ii) The applicant shall not, directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer. (iii) The applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court. 4. Criminal Application is disposed of. . The order will remain in force till the trial is over with the only stipulation that if charge sheeted the applicant may furnish fresh bonds before the trial Court in view of the Judgment of the Supreme Court dated 2nd December, 2010 delivered in Special Leave Petition (Cri.)
