Kute, Advocate for the applicants; Mr N.R. Shaikh, A.P.P. for the respondent - State. CORAM : P.V. HARDAS, J. DATE : 20th October, 2010 PER COURT : By this application the applicants, who are accused in Crime No. 207 of 2010, registered at Sangamner Taluka police station, Dist. Ahmednagar for offence punishable under sections 498-A, 306, 304-B, 504 read with sec. 34 of the Indian Penal Code, seek their release on bail pending the decision of the appeal. 2. Undisputedly, the investigation has been completed and a charge- sheet against the present applicants has been filed. The material which is alleged against the present applicants is in the shape of the dying 2 declaration of deceased Anita, who was daughter-in-law of the applicant no.1 and sister-in-law of applicant no.2. In the dying declaration Anita has alleged that the present applicants used to illtreat and quarrel with her and on account of the said fact Anita was fed up and because of the illtreatment she committed suicide. Apparently, deceased Anita in the dying declaration does not make any allegations that she was illtreated on account of demand for any dowry or was illtreated on account of non- fulfilment of the said demand. Prima facie, therefore, according to me the applicants would be entitled to be released on bail. The applicants are aged 50 years and 30 years and both are ladies and, therefore, this application is allowed and it is directed that the applicants be released on bail on each of the applicants executing a P.R. bond in the sum of Rs. 10,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court. The applicants shall make no attempts whatsoever at tampering the prosecution evidence or influencing the prosecution witnesses. Application allowed accordingly. ( P.V.HARDAS, J.) amj/criap4071.10
