CORAM : A.M.KHANWILKAR, J. DATED : 30.09.2004 DATED : 30.09.2004 DATED : 30.09.2004 PC :- PC :- PC :- . Heard the learned counsel for the parties. . I see no reason to depart from the view taken by the lower court for rejecting the application/ prayer for bail at the instance of Applicant No.1. I am in agreement with the reasons recorded by the court below in that behalf. However, so far as Applicant No.2 is concerned, she is mother in-law of the deceased and it is not in dispute that she is of an advance age (70 years) and being woman, in the interest of justice, she can be released on bail on certain conditions. Accordingly, this application is granted only in respect of the Appilcant No.2 on the following terms :- 2 Applicant No.2 is enlarged on bail in connection with C.R. No. 14/2004, registered with the Medha Police Station, on executing personal bond in the sum of Rs. 5000/- with two local sureties in the like amount. The Applicant shall regularly attend the court proceedings and if it is found that she has failed to appear on a given date without sufficient cause, that can be a ground for cancellation of her bail. Applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence or witness in any manner whatsoever. . I am informed that there is Fast Track Court at Satara. If it is so, the District Judge shall assign the pending cases to Fast Track Court so as to ensure early disposal of the case. . Order accordingly. 3 .....
