1 1 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3999 OF 2008 Rekha @ Ramabai Madhukar Pawar & Ors. .. Applicants. Vs. State of Maharashtra .. Respondent. Mr.Ujwal Agandsurve for the applicants. Mr.Y.S.Shinde A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATED : 26TH NOVEMBER, 2008. DATED : 26TH NOVEMBER, 2008. DATED : 26TH NOVEMBER, 2008. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicants are seeking bail in C.R.No.14 of 2008 of Madha police station, Solapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicants and one another for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302, 307, 323 r/w 34 of IPC. 3. There are four statements of the deceased, all recorded on the same day. In the first three statements the deceased has specifically stated that one Pintu Chavare poured kerosene and set her on fire when all the three applicants were also present and they also set her on fire. In the fourth statement 2 2 2 which was recorded on the very same day at 22.30 hours the deceased changed her version and has stated that the present applicants poured kerosene and set her on fire and that she has no complaint against Pintu Chavare. She has further explained that she had taken Pintu Chavare’s name in a fit of rage. Looking to the inconsistency in the statements and considering that all the applicants are women having children I am inclined to enlarge them on bail. Hence the following order: . The applicants to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- each with one or two sureties to make up the said amount subject to condition that all the applicants shall report to the concerned police station on every alternate Saturday between 9 and 10 am till conclusion of the trial. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
