DATED : 02 nd. August, 2011. 2 This is an application by applicant Nos. 1, 2 and 3, seeking regular bail against whom offence bearing CR. No. 85 of 2011 was registered at the Police Station Rajura, District Chandrapur, for the offence punishable under Sections 498-A, 304-B read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. One Shushma had married with Shinu Kannuri, in June, 2009. At the time of marriage, the parents of Shushma had promised to give dowry of Rs 3 lac. However, they could only pay Rs. 1,50,000/-( Rs. One Lac Fifty Thousand Only) at the time of marriage. After three months of the marriage, Shushma was subjected to ill-treatment. There was demand of Rs. 3 Lac from the parents of the deceased. This was needed for securing job in Western Coal Fields. Because of inability of parents of the deceased to meet the demand, she was being ill-treated. On 22/05/2011 Shushma consumed Super Vasmol hair oil with intent to commit suicide. On the same day she died because of the 3 poisoning of the said liquid. 3. Heard both sides. Perused the case diary. In the statement dated 25.05.2011, father of the deceased stated that when Shushma was carrying pregnancy of three months, his son-in-law Shinu started illtreating her. He was doubting her chastity. He and some relation intervened and had a dialogue with Shinu. In turn Shinu promised to behave properly with her. Three months prior to the incident there was demand of Rs 3 Lac. The deceased had complained to him that because of non fulfillment of this demand her husband was illtreating her. In further part of his statement he stated that mother-in-law, sister-in-law and husband of the sister-in-law used to instigate the husband of the deceased. 4. Considering the fact that allegations of illtreatment are mainly attributed to husband of the deceased and in concluding paragraph of the statement 4 there is a general reference of the present applicants and that too, to the effect that they were instigating the husband of the deceased, I am inclined to release them on bail. Hence, the order. O R D E R Applicant Nos. 1 to 3 be released on furnishing P.R. Bond of Rs. 25,000/-(Rs. Twenty Five Thousand Only) each with one surety each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Sessions Judge, Chandrapur. JUDGE Deshmukh
