The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No72 of 2008 of Pangari Police Station, District Solapur.

The applicant is a husband of the deceased – Kavita Doiphode. There are two dying declarations on record. Both the dying declarations are consistent. She has attributed specific overt act to her husband’s grand-mother, who allegedly poured kerosene on her person and set her ablaze. Insofar as the 2 applicant is concerned, she has stated that he was present at the time of incident and he remained silent spectator at the relevant time. In both the dying declarations the deceased has stated that subsequently the applicant also tried to extinguish the fire and took her to the hospital. The applicant came to be arrested on 30.5.2008. 4. Having considered overall facts and circumstances of the case I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail.
