1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET NO. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLN . 4732 OF 2004 in Appeal no. 298 of 2004 1. Shankar Dadu Vetam 2. Smt. Surekha Shankar Vetam 3. Sudhir Shankar Vetam 4. Devanand Shankar Vetam ... Applicants. vs. State of Maharashtra ... Respondent. Smt. Manjula Rao for applicants. Smt. P. H. Kantharia AGP for respondent – State. CORAM: A.S. AGUIAR J. DATE: February, 9, 2005 P.C.: This is the second application for bail filed by the applicants. Learned advocate for the applicants points out that the trial court itself has not thought it 2 fit to convict the accused for the offence under section 302 IPC although the dying declarations have been accepted by the court for cogent reasons. The applicants have been convicted under section 304B IPC and not for the offence u/s. 302 IPC. In view of the fact that the present applicants are advanced in age and have been in jail for more than a year and considering the fact that the appeal will take some time to be disposed of thereby frustrating the appeal, I am inclined to reconsider the application of grant of bail. In the circumstances the applicants be released on each of them executing a personal bond of Rs.25,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. Applicants to attend Deonar Police Station once a fortnight. Application stands disposed of. (A. S. Aguiar J.) -x-
