DATE : 14/11/2008 DATE : 14/11/2008 DATE : 14/11/2008 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard Mr.Patil, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr.Yagnik, learned APP, for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.82 of 2008 of Hatkangale police station, Dist.-Kolhapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and five others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302,109,143,147,148,149,120-B of IPC. The prosecution case is that the applicant, who is the wife of the deceased, allegedly committed the murder of her husband through hired assailants. She had agreed to pay Rs. two lacs to them and part of the amount was paid by her. There is no eye-witness to the incident. This is a case of circumstantial evidence and the circumstances relied upon by the prosecution against the applicant are : telephone calls made by the assailants, and for collecting the amount of Rs.two lacs she had sold certain ornaments and that she had affairs with one Banasode and her husband was coming in the way of her affairs with him. Except this, there is no other material against the applicant. Learned APP could not point out any other material to connect the applicant with the alleged offence. Having regard to overall facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence, the following order. 3. The applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.50,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station every alternate Saturday between 10 and 11 am till conclusion of the trial. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
