Mr. Desai, Adv. h/for Shri P B Patil, Adv. for applicant Mr S B Ahirkar APP for Respondent .......... CORAM : A.P.BHANGALE, J. DATED : JANUARY 18, 2010. Heard. 2. By this application, the applicants prays for grant of bail in connection with the incident of alleged dowry death / suicide reported as Crime No.194/ 2009 at Mehkar Police Station, Dist. Buldana, at the instance of the father of the alleged victim. Learned Advocate for the applicants submitted that Executive Magistrate had occasion to record dying declaration of the alleged victim Rekha on 16.11.2009 at about 10.55 a.m., when she had in unequivocal terms blamed jumping of cat who disturbed the lantern in the house, with the result the lantern fell on her person resulting in fire. By the time she had awakened her husband, who tried to extinguish fire, she had caught fire in her clothes. She was taken to Civil Hospital, Mehkar. thereafter to Buldana by her husband, sister-in-law, brother-in-law etc. She also stated in no uncertain term that she had not received 2 any harassment at the hands of her husband and in- laws. That being so chances of conviction appears to be remote in this case, at this stage. Hence, I am inclined to grant bail in favour of the applicants. 3. The applicants be released upon executing PR bond in the sum of Rs. 30,000/- with on or more sureties to be provided by each of them, with further conditions that they shall attend on each date of hearing in the trial court, shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence in any manner, and shall inform their telephone /cellphone number, if any, to the I.O. as well as the trial Court while on bail. It is made clear that the observations are made for the purpose of deciding this application only and the trial Court shall examine the material independently on merits of the case at the time of deciding the Sessions Case JUDGE sahare
