The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.I-1/2006 registered with the Taloja police station for alleged offences under Sections 302 & 201 of IPC. The deceased is one Babybai who was said to be friendly with the accused. The evidence against the applicant is last seen together at 8.00 P.M. on 31.12.2005. The applicant is said to have visited the house of Babybai on 31.12.2005 as ususl and has been : 2 : seen her son leaving with Babybai. The dead body was found 5 days thereafter in a well with the fracture of thyroid bone. The post mortem notes shows that the death was more than 24 hours prior to post mortem. There appears to be some over writing in this regard. The body is not found decomposed. The indication is that the death must have occured either on 2.1.2006 or 3.1.2006. One revenue tax receipt in the applicant’s name is said to be found near the well. In my view, this being the only circumstance, bail can be granted in this case. It is therefore, directed that pending his trial in connection with C.R.No.I-1/2006 registered by the Taloja police station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the Taloja police station once a : 3 : month on every first Monday till the disposal of his trial.
