{1} IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2850 OF 2010 Rajendra s/o Dagdu Ware & Another APPLICANTS VERSUS The State of Maharashtra & Another RESPONDENTS ....... Mrs. S.S.Jadhav, Advocate for the applicants Mrs. V.A.Shinde, APP for respondent State ....... [CORAM : A.V.POTDAR, J.] DATE: 2nd August 2010 PER COURT: 1. By this application, the applicants, who are paternal uncles of husband of deceased Sheetal, have prayed to release them on anticipatory bail in the event of their arrest in connection with CR No.110/2010 registered with Karjat police station, Dist- Ahmednagar 2. It appears that the applicants are protected by this Court by way of interim protection vide order dated 21.07.2010. 3. Today, when the mater came up for final hearing, {2} heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned APP. Perused the papers of investigation carried out till today. 4. Admittedly, deceased Sheetal is daughter in law of the brother of the present applicants. The marriage of the deceased had taken place on 22nd May 2010 and the alleged incident occurred in the early hours of 9th July 2010 when the deceased was found died drowned in a well and thereafter on the next day, the complaint came to be registered by the brother of the deceased. 5. It is alleged that in the marriage sufficient dowry was given and the marriage was performed as per the wishes of the groom. It is further alleged that after marriage, as per customs, the deceased had been to the house of her parents and at that time she had complained about illegal demand to purchase tractor by her husband and in laws. It appears that after 5 days deceased Sheetal had returned to her matrimonial house and within a month or so, the alleged incident occurred. Perusal of the complaint as well as documents annexed with the application indicate that the applicants are not residing jointly with the in laws of the deceased. Even the complaint nowhere discloses any overtact at the hands of the applicants or no specific role is alleged against the applicants. No doubt, the death of a newly wedded girl within a span of some months from the date of marriage is unfortunate and serious in nature, however, prima facie, it cannot be said that the same is attributed to the applicants. The {3} applicants are close relatives of deceased Sheetal and merely on that ground if they are roped in the offence it cannot be said that they are culprits and hence case is made out to enlarge the applicants on anticipatory bail. 6. In the result, the application is allowed. Interim protection earlier granted is hereby confirmed and to remain in force till filing of the charge sheet. The applicants are directed to attend the concerned police station, if required, on written intimation. Applicants are directed not to contact or tamper with the prosecution witnesses. Application stands disposed of accordingly [A.V.POTDAR, J.] drp/B10/criapln2850-10
