APP for respondent State. CORAM : A.P. BHANGALE, J. DATED : JANUARY 27, 2010. Heard submissions at bar. 2. According to the learned counsel for the applicant, the applicant is a student aged about 20 years, studying in Pharmacy college and he was not present at the time of incident. But it is alleged as against him that he had provided a match box to the husband the deceased and the husband of the deceased had poured kerosene on the body of the deceased and then set her on fire. Subsequently, in the first dying declaration, the deceased had contended that she caught fire accidently while preparing tea. But latter, after about 8 days, father of the deceased lodged F.I.R, on the basis of which, another dying declaration was recorded, in which, the deceased imputed liability to her husband & in-laws including the present applicant. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant further contended that Indubai Yadeorao Khadse and Archana Idole who are mother-in-law and sister-in-law of the deceased 2 respectively have already been granted benefit of bail by order passed by this Court dated 19th November, 2009, which was confirmed on 14th December, 2009, by order in Criminal Application No. 3433/2009. 4. Under the circumstances, considering the overall circumstances, particularly the fact that the applicant is a student studying in pharmacy, aged about 20 years, I am inclined to grant conditional anticipatory bail in his favour. Hence the following order. 5.
