Ms.S.V.Gajare APP for the State. Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 8.6.2006. PC 1. This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.I-16/2006 registered by Kinhavali police station for alleged offences under Sections 302, 201 r/w 34 of IPC. The prosecution case is that the deceased Shaila was burnt by her inlaws as she was opposing the sale of land by the family. FIR itself indicates that it was the present applicant who informed : 2 : the police about the whereabouts of the dead body. There is some allegation against the inlaws of the deceased and amongst the names of the family members who were quarreling with Shaila the name of the present applicant also finds place. The investigating officer was absent when the matter was moved in May-2006 and he was also absent when the matter came up before the vacation judge. Four weeks time was given by the vacation judge but the investigating officer has not bothered to turn up today also. From the order passed by the Sessions Judge it appears that there is no other material against the present applicant. Merely because he was quarreling with the deceased, prima facie that by itself need not result in an inference that he was instrumental in her murder. In this regard the fact that this applicant went to the police station and disclosed about the : 3 : whereabouts of the dead body is a material fact. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail. It is directed that pending the trial the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the concerned investigating officer once a week on every Monday till charge-sheet is filed and thereafter once in 4 weeks till completion of the trial. Application stands disposed of. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
