DATED : 16TH DECEMBER, 2008. DATED : 16TH DECEMBER, 2008. DATED : 16TH DECEMBER, 2008. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicants are seeking bail in C.R.No.48 of 2008 of Kasegaon police station, Tal.Walwa, Dist.Sangli. The said crime has been registered against the applicants and one another for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302, 498(A)(B) r/w 34 of IPC. I have perused the FIR and other material placed on record. Applicant No.1, who is 65 years old, is mother-in-law of the deceased and applicant no.2 is her sister-in-law. Applicant No.2 is married and is a resident of village Gondi, Taluka Karad. It is alleged that the previous night there was a quarrel between the deceased and all the accused. It appears 2 2 2 that the deceased was found dead on her bed early morning. It is the prosecution case that she has been killed in the intervening night of 20.5.2008 and 21.5.2008 while she was in the bedroom with her husband. Ms.Walimbe, learned counsel for the applicants submitted that insofar as the present applicants are concerned the allegations against them at the most would attract the provisions of section 498(A). Considering overall facts and circumstances of the case I am inclined to enlarge both the applicants, who are women, on bail. Hence the following order: . The applicants to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- each with one or two sureties of the like amount subject to condition that the applicants shall report to the concerned police station as and when called. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
