1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.784 OF 2010 Sou. Supriya Satish Dixit )..Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra )..Respondent ---- Mrs. Pranali Kakade for the applicant. Smt. A. A. Mane APP for the State. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 23rd April, 2010 PC 1 This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant who is a woman is shown as an accused in C.R.No.196/2009 registered by the Yerawada Police station for alleged offences under Sections 302, 323, 504 read with 34 of IPC. The deceased is one Shashikant Kore. The case is that during the summer vacation, children were playing cricket in the parking place. Since the son of the present applicant was allegedly abused, she raised a quarrel and her family members were beating the deceased with hands and fist. At that stage, son of the present applicant Suyash Dixit took out a knife from his pocket and brutally stabbed the deceased causing several incised wounds. It is difficult to state whether Section 34 could be drawn as the knife was taken out from the pocket. Before the use of knife, the present applicant was allegedly assaulting the deceased with hands and not carrying any weapon. Taking into account these facts as well as the fact that the applicant is a woman and there are special provisions to the women and also the fact that her husband who was also a part of assault by hands and kicks, has also been granted bail, I 2 am inclined to grant bail to the present applicant. It is therefore, directed that pending her trial in pursuance of C.R.No.196 of 2009 registered by the Yerawada police station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that she will report to the Investigating officer as and when called upon him to do so in writing and will not tamper with any of the witnesses of the case and will remain present on all dates of her trial unless exempted. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 3
