The State of Maharashtra )..Respondent ­­­­ Mr. C. P. Sengaonkar for the applicants. Smt.V. R. Bhosale APP for the State. ­­­­ Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 5th May, 2010 PC 1 This is an application for grant of bail. Both the applicants are women. They have been shown as accused in C.R.No.I­246/2009 registered by the Central Police station, Ulhasnagar for alleged offences under Sections 498­A & 304­B of IPC. The incident in question has taken place on 17.11.2009. The present applicant no.1 is the mother­in­law of the deceased Savita whereas applicant no.2 is her sister­in­law. The statements recorded by the police indicate that on the date of the incident there was a quarrel between Savita and present applicant. When the neighbor rushed in, they found that present applicant no.2 had bleeding injury on the head and Savita had a stab injury on the stomach. Stab injury is said to have been given by the husband. That the applicants were also in the house and since wooden log has been found on the scene of offence, they must have beaten Savita with the wooden log. Though there is material, taking into account the fact that both the applicants are ladies and there are special provisions for the women for grant of bail, I am inclined to grant bail. It is therefore, directed that pending their trial in pursuance of 2 C.R.No.I­246/2009 registered by the Central Police station, Ulhasnagar, the applicants may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/­ each with one surety each in the like amount subject to the condition that they will not tamper with the evidence and remain present on all dates of their trial unless exempted. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 3
