The State) ________________________________________________________ Office Notes, Office | Memoranda of Coram, | Court's or Judge's orders appearances, Court's | orders or directions | and Registrar's orders | ________________________________________________________ Mr. R.V. Gore, Advocate for appellants. Mr. N. H. Borade, A.P.P. for respondent / State PER COURT : 1. The appellants are seeking bail, pending disposal of this appeal. 2. The appellants are convicted under Section 498-A, 306 r/w section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. It is the prosecution case that the appellants abused wife of the appellant no.1, which ultimately led her to commit suicide. It is alleged that they abetted such suicide. The deceased died due to drowning in the well. She left no suicide note. So, the version of the deceased is not on record in any form. The evidence is mainly of the relatives of the 2 deceased. The appellants are sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment of five years for offence punishable under section 306 and rigorous imprisonment of three years for offence punishable under section 498-A of Indian Penal Code. Having gone through the judgment of the lower court, I am convinced that this is fit case to grant bail to the appellants. “The substantive sentence of the appellants is suspended. The appellants be released on bail of Rs. 5,000/- (Rs. five thousand) each, with one surety in the like amount.” Certified copy be expedited. Dt : 13th April, 10 [A.V. NIRGUDE, J.] tsk/cri.apln1368.10
