IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY: NAGPUR BENCH:NAGPUR CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1685/2008 Nemrao Thakre & 2 others ..vs.. State = ================================ CORAM: S.R. DONGAONKAR, J. DATE:6.6.2008 Heard Mr. Mardikar, Advocate for the applicants and Mr. Parihar, A.P.P. for state. This is an application u/s 438 of Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail in respect of crime no.52/2008 of P.S. Akot for the offences u/s 398-A, 306 r/w 34 of I.P.C. The report is lodged by the mother of the deceased Kamlabai on 11.4.2008 whereas deceased had expired on 9.4.2008. The complainant had attended the deceased in the hospital, when she was found unconscious. It is alleged that the applicants were harassing the deceased mentally and physically and therefore, she committed suicide. It is necessary to note that there is no dying declaration. It is further necessary to note that though deceased had expired on 9.4.2008, the report was lodged on 11.4.2008. There is no satisfactory explanation as to why the report is belated. Considering the totality of the circumstances, and considering the age of applicant No.1 & 2 and so also relationship of applicant no.2 with the deceased, applicants would be entitled for anticipatory bail, however subject to conditions. In the event of arrest of the applicants in respect of crime no.52/2008 of P.S. Akot for the offences u/s 498-A, 306 r/w 34 of I.P.C., each of them be released on bail on furnishing surety and PRB of Rs.15000/- subject to conditions that they shall report Akot Police Station as and when directed by the I.O. for the purposes of investigation and shall not directly or indirectly tamper with the evidence. Application stands disposed of. JUDGE smp
