It is not in dispute that investigation is still in progress. The allegations against the : 2 : Applicants make out a serious offence under Sections 498A and 498B read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The remand application also spells out the nature of offence and the fact that investigation is still going on. It also states that if Applicants are released on bail, it is apprehended that they may tamper the prosecution evidence and influence the prosecution witnesses. It is in this backdrop that the Court below has initially granted police custody till 30th May 2005, which has been extended up to 6th June 2005. 3. As mentioned earlier, as investigation is still in progress and the offence is a serious offence, I am not inclined to grant bail in the fact situation of the present case, at least, insofar as Applicant No.1 who happens to be the husband of the Complainant and Applicant No.2, who is the father-in-law of the Complainant. 4. Insofar as Applicant No.3 is concerned, she is the mother-in-law of the Complainant and being female of advanced age of 50 years, in my opinion, she can be released on bail on the : 3 : conditions enumerated hereinafter. 5. It is made clear that it will be open to the Applicants 1 and 2 to apply for fresh bail before the lower Court, which will have to be considered on its own merits in accordance with law. 6. Accordingly, this Application is rejected, so far as Applicants 1 and 2 are concerned. Insofar as Applicant No.3 Smt.Sabira Iqbal Parandarwala is concerned, she is directed to be enlarged on bail in connection with C.R.No.91 of 2005 registered with Versova Police Station on executing personal bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two local sureties in the like amount. .
