DATE : 10 th JULY, 2009 Heard Shri Jaiswal, advocate for applicant and Shri Sonare APP for state. Interim order was passed on 19.6.2009. The question is whether that order should be confirmed. It is pointed out by the learned counsel for the applicants that the present applicants are residing separately at Bhadrawati which is at about 25 k.m. away from the residence of the complainant. Further according to him, the real offence is alleged against the husband and not the present applicants. Learned counsel has further pointed out that the alleged incident took place on 22.4.2009 and the complainant was discharged from the hospital some time on 24.4.2009 still the report was lodged on 7.5.2009. Delay in lodging the report is not satisfactorily explained. Possibility of implicating the applicants on suspicion, since all family members of husbands are arrayed, can not be ruled out. In these circumstances, interim order needs to be confirmed. The same is confirmed as under: In the event of their arrest, in crime no.203/2009, registered by P.S. Ramnagar, Chandrapur for the offences under section 498-A, 328, r/w 34 of IPC, each of the the applicants be released on bail on furnishing surety and PRB of Rs.25000/- each, subject to conditions that they shall attend the P.S.Ramnagar, as and when directed by I.O. for the purposes of investigation and shall not directly or indirectly tamper with the prosecution evidence. It is made clear that the above observations are in prima facie view of the matter and therefore, they shall not influence the learned trial Judge while deciding anything on merits. Application stands disposed of. Hamdast granted. JUDGE SMP
