Borade, A.P.P. for respondent. ........ (CORAM : V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.) DATE : 24 th November, 2010. PER COURT : 1. This is an application for bail. The applicants are arrested in connection with crime no. I-259/2010 registered with Kotwali Police Station for the offence punishable under Sections 307, 498(A) r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. Having heard the learned Advocate for the applicants and the learned A.P.P., and on perusal of the investigation papers, 2 prima facie appears that there were bickering between the spouces. The marriage was performed on 9th January, 2005. The F.I.R. purports to show that in the morning of 6th August, 2010, the applicant no.1 sprinkled kerosene on the person of the prosecutrix and the applicant no.2 pushed her whereas the applicant no.3 instigated the applicant no.1 by saying that let her be burnt. She alleged that the applicant no.2 pushed her on the stove, and therefore, she received burn injuries. 3. The prosecutrix is said to have suffered 25% of the burn injuries. The F.I.R. itself shows that the applicant nos.2 and 3 had left the house immediately. When the witnesses reached the place, the prosecutrix was found sitting in the house. They took her to the private hospital. The circumstances on record would show that there may be an attempt of self emulation by the prosecutrix due to matrimonial dispute and quarrel with a view to blame applicant. The bail application came to be rejected only because the investigation is in progress. Now, the investigation is over and the charge sheet is also filed, therefore, further detention of the applicants is not required for any effective purpose as such. 4. Considering the nature of the incident and the evidence placed on record, the applicants are entitled to claim 3 liberty. Hence, their application is allowed and the applicants are directed to be released on bail, on furnishing of bail bonds, in the sum of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) each with one solvent surety bond in the like sum to the satisfaction of the Court of Sessions and on further condition that they shall not contact any of the prosecution witnesses and shall not make any attempt to tamper with prosecution evidence.
