DATED : 10th February 2006. ORAL ORDER ORAL ORDER ORAL ORDER 1. Heard learned counsel appearing for the applicant and learned APP for the State. The applicant is 60 years old and the mother-in-law of the deceased who committed suicide in the matrimonial house. It is an admitted position that the applicant was not residing with her son 2 2 2 and daughter-in-law since one and half year prior to the incident. The learned APP however submits that the applicant was instigating his son to harass the deceased and, therefore, she is equally responsible for the offence which has been committed under Section 498-A. 2. In my view, since the investigation is almost over and considering the fact that the applicant was not staying with her son and daughter-in-law since one and half year prior to the incident, this is a fit case for grant of bail. Therefore, the applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.5,000/- [Rupees Five Thousand only] with one or two sureties in the like amount. The applicant shall report to the Baramati Police Station once in a two months. Application is disposed of. [V.M.KANADE,J] [V.M.KANADE,J] [V.M.KANADE,J]
