Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's order of directions and Registrar's orders ..................................................................................................................................................................... Mr R K Tiwari, Adv.for applicant Mr. Parihar, APP for Respondent CORAM : A.P. BHANGALE, J. DATED : 6 th September, 2010. Heard submissions at the Bar. 2. The applicant is a lady, aged about 50 years, facing accusations under sections 498A read with section 306 r/ws. 34 IPC, on the ground that there was harassment of deceased Manisha Rajendra Khapre as a result of which she committed suicide by jumping into the well. The incident appears to have occurred on 1.8.2010 while FIR was lodged on 5.8.2010 i.e. after efflux of about 4 days. Learned Advocate for the applicant contended that the possibility cannot be overruled that the deceased Manisha might have fallen into the well accidentally. It is denied that there was any demand for dowry or money so as to harass deceased Manisha. It is further contended that prima facie there is no reason to believe about involvement of the applicant into serious accusation punishable under section 306, 498A read with section 34 IPC. 3. Learned APP objected bail on the ground that 2 the applicant is involved in serious accusation offence however in view of the fact that there was delay in lodging the FIR after the alleged incident and also the contention that the death may have been accidental, I am inclined to grant conditional anticipatory bail in favour of the applicant, as under :- In the event of arrest of the applicant in respect of Crime No.94/2010 reported at Babulgaon Police Station, Dist. Yavatmal for offence punishable under sections 498A, 306 r/ws.34 IPC, she shall be released on bail, upon executing PR bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- with one or more surety in the equal amount, provided further that until completion of investigation against her, she shall cooperate with the Investigating Officer by attending the I.O. as and when required and shall inform her fixed address with telephone/ mobile number,if any, to the I.O. and shall not misuse her liberty in any manner. Application is disposed of. Humdast granted. JUDGE Sahare
