Ambad, Advocate for the Applicants Mr. D.V. Tele, APP for the respondent-State ... CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J. DATED : 16TH NOVEMBER, 2010 ORAL ORDER:- 1. Heard learned Advocate for the applicants and learned APP. 2. The Application is not being pressed for the applicant no.1, who is the mother-in-law of the deceased. (2) CRI.APP. 4374.2010 3. Perusal of the investigation papers prima facie indicates that cause of death of deceased Varsha is yet to be ascertained. It is true, no doubt, that the death of the deceased Varsha occurred within period of about five months of the marriage and there are allegations made in the FIR that she was subjected to matrimonial cruelty soon before her death. It also appears from the recitals of the FIR that on 13.9.2010 she had telephonically informed her brother that she was suffering extensive trouble and was likely to die on the same day. Still, however, presence of applicant no.2 Jayshri at the matrimonial house, in the proximity of day of the incident, is not revealed from the investigation papers. The applicant no.2 Jayshri is married sister-in-law of the deceased and resides at village Korangala with her husband. Therefore, her involvement in the alleged crime is prima facie not inferable to the extent of the alleged offence under section 302 or section 304-B of the Indian Penal Code. 4. In this view of the matter, she is entitled to claim liberty. The Application of applicant no.1 (3) CRI.APP. 4374.2010 Nirmalabai is dismissed as withdrawn. The Application of applicant no.2 Jayshri is granted. She is directed to be released on bail on furnishing of bail bonds in sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rs. Twenty Thousand) to the satisfaction of the Court of Sessions with a solvent surety bond in the like amount. Application disposed of. Sd/- [V. R. KINGAONKAR, J.] arp
