The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No.I-19 of 2007 of Murbad Police Station. The said case is under Section 306 of IPC. 3. The deceased Gulabbai was married to Tukaram. Anjana is the sister of Tukaram. The present applicant is the husband of Anjana. After the marriage, Gulabbai and her husband Tukaram were residing in the house of Tukaram’s sister Anjana. In the said house, Gulabbai, her husband Tukaram, Anjana, Anjana’s husband Laxman (applicant) and one other person Narayan were residing. On perusal of the material in this case, it is seen that all the allegations are against Tukaram and Anjana. As far [-2-] as Tukaram is concerned, allegations are made against him that he used to beat his wife Gulabbai so also specific allegations relating to specific acts have been made in respect of Anjana. However, as far as present applicant Laxman is concerned, no specific act is alleged against him, nor is it alleged that at any time, he beat Gulabbai as has been the case against the other accused.
