Civil Application No. 3307/2006 in Criminal Appeal No.282 of 2006 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, : Appearances, Court's orders or directions : Court's or Judge's orders and Registrar's orders. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mr. S.V. Sirpurkar, Advocate for Appellant no.1. Mrs. K.S. Joshi, APP for the respondent/State. .......... CORAM : K. J. ROHEE J. DATED : DECEMBER 6, 2006 1. Heard. 2. Sou. Laxmibai, namely the wife of appellant no.1, is present with her father. She states that she is ready and willing to cohabit with her husband and that her in-laws are ready to accept her. In support of this statement, she has also filed her affidavit. 3. It may be noted that the husband of Laxmibai was convicted for the offences punishable under Sections 307, 342 and 498-A of IPC whereas her in-laws were convicted for the offence punishable under Section 498-A of IPC. This Court had refused to suspend the sentence and to release the husband of Laxmibai on bail by earlier order. However, considering the change in circumstances viz. Laxmibai is ready and willing to cohabit with 2 her husband and that her in-laws are also ready to accept her, I think it expedient to suspend the sentence and to release appellant no.1 Raju on bail. Hence the order: i} The application is allowed. Appellant no.1 Raju be released on his executing P. R. for Rs. 10,000/- with one surety in the like amount. ii} Appellant no.1 Raju is directed to treat his wife Laxmibai properly. In case of complaint by her about illtreatment in future, his bail shall be liable to be cancelled. 4. Hamdast granted. JUDGE halwai.
