The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.283 of 2008 of Pandharpur police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 306, 498-A r/w 34 of IPC. 3. I have perused an FIR and the other documents placed on record. The deceased - Manisha had two daughters. She committed suicide within less than seven years of marriage. It is alleged that the present applicant and other family members subjected her to cruelty since she was not having male child and also with a view to coercing her to meet their unlawful demand of monies. The allegations 2 2 2 are general in nature. The applicant came to be arrested in connection with this offence on 24.10.2008. The charge-sheet has already been filed. Keeping that all in view, in my opinion, continued detention of the applicant is not necessary. Hence the following order: . The applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount subject to the condition that the applicant shall report to concerned police station on first Saturday of every month between 9 am and 10 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 uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. . The application is disposed of. (D.B.Bhosale, J.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
