The applicant has been convicted for committing offences punishable under Sections 306 & 498-A of IPC. The maximum sentence is of four years. The appeal has been admitted on merits. The applicant was on bail in the trial Court. There is no history of abuse of bail. The question as to whether there is any instigation to commit suicide requires serious consideration. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail to the present applicant. It is therefore, directed that pending the hearing and final disposal of the appeal, the applicant may be released on same bail as in the trial Court subject to his furnishing fresh bond and subject to the further condition that he will report to Khed police : 2 : station, Pune once a fortnight on 1st and 3rd Mondays of every month.
