CORAM : S.V. GANGAPURWALA, J. DATE : 28th May, 2010 PER COURT : 1. I have heard Shri. Ghanekar, the learned counsel for the applicant, Shri. Choudhari, the learned counsel for the complainant and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that no active role on the part of the applicant has been attributed in the commission of the crime. Even the husband of the deceased while making the statement at the time of recovery said that it was he who dealt the blow to his wife and killed the wife and the recovery is effectuated at his instance. As such, the learned advocate for the applicant urged that it would not be necessary to detain the applicant 2 further. 3. The learned A.P.P. and Shri. Choudhari, the learned counsel for the complainant, vehemently opposed the application and state that the applicant may not be released at this stage as she may tamper with the evidence and if the case is based on circumstantial evidence, it would not be appropriate to release the applicant on bail. 4. The investigation is almost complete. Even the husband has made the statement that it is he, who has committed the act against his wife and the recovery is also effectuated at his instance. Specific role is not attributed to the present applicant. The applicant is in custody since 4th May 2010 and as such, her further custody would not be necessary. 5. In the light of above, the application is allowed. The applicant be released on bail in connection with Cr. No. I-51/2010 registered with Paithan Police Station on executing P.R. Bond for the sum of Rs. 20,000/- (Rs. twenty thousand) with one surety of the like amount. Hamdast allowed. [ S.V. GANGAPURWALA ] VACATION JUDGE ssc/criapln2001.10
