IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION 390 OF 2009 1.Chamelidevi Rambhujawan Yadav 2. Sunita @ Gunja Rambhujawan Yadav ...Applicants Vs. The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent --- Shri Dilip Shukla i/b. SBG Associates for Applicants Mrs. M.H. Mhatre, APP for State ---- CORAM: V.M. KANADE J. DATED 3RD MARCH, 2009 P.C. 1. Heard the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicants and the Learned APP for the State. 2. The Applicant No.1 is the mother-in-law and the Applicant No.2 is the sister-in-law of deceased Surekha, who committed suicide by setting herself on fire after pouring kerosene on her body inside a room, which was locked by her from inside. No dying declaration has been recorded. One of the neighbour has stated in her statement, which was recorded by the police that she had seen smoke coming out of the house of the Applicants and the Applicant No.1 was going home when she informed her about the incident and, thereafter, they had tried to open the said door,which was apparently bolted from inside. The Applicant No.2 was 19 years of age at that time. 3. In the complaint, which was lodged by the father of the deceased has been stated that the Applicant No.2 used to taunt the deceased from time to time and the Applicant No.1 had demanded Rs.1 lac from her. Both the Applicants are in jail since last two years. It is submitted that since all the members of the family are in jail, no application has been preferred for bail. 4. Taking into consideration the fact that the Applicant No.2 is 19 years of age and the Applicant No.1 is 45 years of age, and since they are behind bar since last two years, in my view, this is a fit case for granting bail to both these Applicants. I have gone through the FIR, no specific allegations of harassment have been made against both these Applicants. A general averment is made that all the members of the family used to harass the deceased. 5. Under these circumstances, the Applicants be released on bail in a sum of Rs.5,000/- each with one or two sureties in the like amount. The Applicants, initially be released on bail on furnishing cash bail of Rs.5,000/- and, thereafter, they shall furnish sureties within a period of two weeks thereafter. The Applicants shall attend the Sessions Court on the respective dates. 6. Application is, accordingly, allowed and is disposed of. V.M. KANADE J.
