The applicant, who has been arrested on 8.7.2011 in Crime No. 34/2011 registered at Kharangna Police Station for offence punishable under Sections 498-A, 504 and 306 of the Indian Penal Code, has filed the present application for bail. The applicant was married to the deceased Minakshi on 5.5.2011. As per the dying declaration given by deceased on 27.6.2011 between 10.00 a.m. to 10.30 a.m. the applicant was searching for the title documents of the house and since he could not find them he questioned the deceased as to where are those documents and shouted at her due to which, without the knowledge of the applicant the deceased went to kitchen, poured kerosene on herself and set herself on fire. The deceased died on 7.7.2011. There are on record statements of relatives of deceased who say that they were informed by the deceased that the applicant used to 2 come drunk and used to ill-treat the deceased and beat her. Considering the nature of evidence collected by the Investigating Officer and the fact that the charge-sheet has already been filed and considering the nature of the offence as also the fact that the applicant does not have any criminal antecedent, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled for bail with appropriate conditions. In the result, the application is allowed. The applicant shall be released on bail in Crime No. 34/2011 registered at Kharangna police station for offence punishable under Sections 498-A, 504 and 306 of the Indian Penal Code, upon execution of personal recognition bond in the sum of Rs. 20,000/- (Rs.
