Mr.S.S.Pednekar APP for the State. Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 27.7.2006. PC 1. Advocate for the applicants states that he is not pressing the application as far as applicant no.2 is concerned because applicant no.2 has already been granted bail. 2. This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant no.1 is a husband of one Vaishali who committed suicide on 24.4.2006. The applicant no.1 is shown as an accused in C.R.No.136/2006 registered by : 2 : the Karveer police station for alleged offences under Sections 498-A, 304-B r/w 34 of IPC. On perusal of the FIR it appears that demand of 4 tolas of gold is said to have been made on or about 13.4.2006 i.e. 2 years after the marriage. It is doubtful whether this can be considered as demand for dowry. The case may therefore, ultimately filed under Section 306 of IPC which is not punishable with death or life. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail. It is therefore, directed that pending the trial of applicant no.1 in pursuance of C.R.No.136/2006 registered by the Karveer police station, the applicant no.1 may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the concerned investigating officer once a month on every Monday till the disposal of the trial. : 3 : Application stands disposed off. Authenticated copy of this order be provided to the parties. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
