DATE : 7th January, 2009 The husband and in-laws of victim Suvarna seeks bail on being jailed for their involvement in death of Suvarna on the night of 22-6-2008. Notice was issued to the State, which has filed reply. Suvarna seems to have died on account of asphyxia due to drowning. The Chemical Analyzer's report also shows that her viscera indicated presence of poison by name 'Monocrotophos'. This death has occurred within seven years of marriage. The allegation of demand of dowry has surfaced only after the death. There is no report of demands in the past. The investigation is over and the chargesheet is filed. The FIR shows that one Khushabrao, who is the brother of the victim, had made a telephone call to applicant No.1 and had made enquiries about the condition of crop and sowing operation. He also asked about well-being of Suvarna. Thereafter, a quarrel took place between Suvarna and 2 applicant No.1. Applicant No.1 gave a slap to Suvarna and since then Suvarna left the house. On these allegations, the applicants are alleged to be involved in murder of Suvarna. Considering the nature of allegations, the presence of the applicants in custody till the trial is over may not be necessary. The application is, therefore, allowed. The applicant be released on bail on each of them furnishing a PR bond of Rs.50,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the aggregate sum of Rs.50,000/- on the condition that they shall attend Police Station Gondpipri every Sunday at 10 a.m. till the trial is over.
