Vairagade, Advocate for the Applicant and Mr. P. D. Kothari, learned A.P.P. for the respondent. 2. An offence under Crime No. 294/2011 punishable under Sections 302 and 498-A read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code has been registered by the Police Station, Washim against the present applicant, her mother Shashikalabai and her son Ravi who is the husband of the deceased. Apprehending arrest in this crime, the applicant has approached this Court for anticipatory bail. 3. The marriage of deceased was solemnized on 29/05/2011 and she died on 4/8/2011, as a result of burn injuries sustained by her on 29/07/2011. 4. It is reported that investigation is almost completed. The mother of the present applicant namely Shashikalabai has been granted anticipatory bail by the learned Additional Sessions 2 Judge, Washim by order dated 10/08/2011. It is seen that the deceased gave two conflicting dying declarations. In the first dying declaration she has stated that she burnt herself whereas in the second one she has implicated the applicant and others. In view of the above, no purpose will be served by detaining the present applicant, who is a woman, aged about 55 years, in custody in the event of her arrest. Nothing is to be recovered at her instance and she is not going to flee from Justice. 5. Hence, the application is allowed. In the event of arrest of the applicant in Washim Police Station, Crime No. 294/2011, registered for offence punishable under Sections 302 and 498-A read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, the applicant shall be released on bail on execution of personal recognition bond in the sum of Rs. 20,000/- with one solvent surety in the like amount under following conditions namely: (i) The applicant shall attend the Washim Police Station as and when called upon by the Investigating Officer to do so. (ii) She shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer. (iii) She shall not leave India without previous permission of the trial Court. Application stands disposed of accordingly. Hamdast granted. JUDGE Punde.
