When the deceased used to go her parents, she was in frightened - 2 - state of mind and she used to tell her parents that if the demands are not met, there is possibility that she might be killed by her in-laws. On the date of the accident, applicant nos.1, 2 and 3 had told her to bring Rs.50,000/-. The deceased, however, informed him that her parents were not in position to pay that amount. Immediately thereafter, the applicant poured kerosene on her and set her on fire. The fire was extinguished by applicant nos.2 and 3, however, they did not take her to the hospital. When the parents of the deceased came to the house, she was in burnt condition lying on the floor and they took her to the hospital. Two dying declarations have been recorded in which she has blamed all the applicants for harassing her and demanding Rs.50,000/- from her from time to time. Taking into consideration the dying declarations of the applicant, no case is made out for grant of bail. 4. The application for bail is rejected. (V.M. KANADE, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.)
