DATED: APRIL 19, 2011 P.C: This is an application for bail by a person who has been in jail for almost one month now for having abetted commission of suicide by one Vandana Mahajan. According to the suicide note, the victim had illicit relations with the applicant for about seven years knowing that the applicant was married and had a family. The victim claims that she had asked the applicant to marry her but he refused and, therefore, she committed suicide. The applicant's friend one Sherzad is alleged to have told the victim that if she did not commit suicide, Sherzad would kill her. This is not shown to have occurred in the presence of 2 BA-514.11 the applicant or at the instigation of the applicant. In any case, the applicant was arrested and has been in custody for about one month. What further investigation is required to be done is not clear and it is also not clear as to how the applicant's being at large would influence that investigation. Therefore, the applicant's being in custody may not be necessary. In view of this, the applicant be released on bail in C.R. No.64 of 2011 of Goregaon Police Station, Mumbai on his furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the sum aggregating to Rs.50,000/- on the condition that the applicant shall attend the police station concerned on Mondays and Wednesdays between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. for the next two months and thereafter on the first Sunday of every month in between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. till the trial is over.
