The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.I-128 of 2006 of Virar of Police Station. The said case is under Sections 498A, 304-B of IPC. 3. It is the prosecution case that the applicant who is husband of deceased Jignasha, his mother and sister illtreated Jignasha, due to which, she committed suicide on 4.6.2006 at 9.45 p.m. I have perused the FIR filed by the father of the deceased. In the said complaint, though he speaks about illtreatment by her husband, the proximate cause for committing suicide by Jignasha appears to [-2-] be acts of her mother in law and sister in law. The complainant has clearly stated that on 4.6.2006 in the afternoon the mother in law and sister in law of Jignasha went to her house and fought with her. They abused and illtreated her and they took their son Manoj with them and went away. Thereafter, Jignasha closed bed room door from inside and hanged herself from the ceiling fan. On going through the complaint, it is clearly seen that proximate cause of Jignasha committing suicide is the act of her mother in law and sister in law and not the present applicant. Hence, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant. 4. The applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rs.twenty thousand only) with one or two sureties to make up the said amount in C.R.No.I-128 of 2006 of Virar Police Station.
