Mane for the applicant. Mr. Amit Sale for the original complainant. Mr. M.R. Tidke, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATE : 27TH JANUARY 2010 P.C. : 1. By this application, the applicant seeks pre­arrest bail in connection with C.R. No. 259/2009 registered at Barshi Town Police Station, District Solapur for an alleged offence punishable under section 306 of the I.P.C.. 2 2. Brief facts are that one Mr. Rizwan, brother of the complainant, went to his house and found his wife Reshma and a stranger together and therefore suspected that there was illicit relationship between them. On account of that suspicion and perhaps depression arising out of it, he committed suicide. Brother of Rizwan lodged an F.I.R. about the incident. The police registered an offence against the wife (the applicant) under section 306 of the I.P.C. 3. Prima facie, the facts do not disclose an offence under section 306 of the I.P.C. as the suspicion of the applicant having illicit relationship with a stranger may be a motive for him to commit suicide and, prima facie, the applicant cannot be an abettor for the suicide. In the circumstances, in my view, the applicant can be granted pre­arrest bail. Hence, I pass the following order: 3 ORDER In the event the applicant is arrested in connection with C.R. No.259/2009 registered at Barshi Town Police Station, District Solapur, he shall be released on bail on executing a personal bond of Rs.10,000/­ with one surety of the like amount. This order shall remain in force for a period of 2 months or till the charge­sheet is filed whereafter the applicant may, if she so desires, apply for bail before the regular court. It is clarified that all observations made above are only prima facie and the Sessions Court shall not in any way be influenced by them at the stage of application for bail or at the stage of trial.
