{1} IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2824 OF 2010 Nafisa Chand Shirue and Another APPLICANTS VERSUS The State of Maharashtra RESPONDENT ....... Mr. S.P.Shah h/f Mr.Mukul Kulkarni, Advocate for the applicants Mrs.V.A.Shinde, APP for respondent State ....... [CORAM : A.V.POTDAR, J.] DATE: 9th August 2010 PER COURT: 1. By this application, the applicants have prayed to release them on anticipatory bail in the event of their arrest in connection with CR No.34/2010 registered with Murum police station, Dist-Osmanabad. 2. The applicants are protected by way of interim protection vide order dated 26.07.2010, by this Court. 3. Today, when the application came up for final hearing heard learned counsel for the applicants followed by learned APP {2} and perused the papers of investigation. 4. This offence is registered on the complaint of one Shabana Shafiq against her husband, mother in law and sister in law. The applicants are mother in law and sister in law of the complainant. It is alleged that the incident in question occurred on 9th April 2010. Perusal of the complaint demonstrates that on the date of the alleged incident the applicants were not present at the spot at the relevant time. Apart from it, bare perusal of other contents of the complaint indicates that as there was dispute between the husband of the complainant and his mother, the complainant and her husband were residing separately from the mother of the husband of the complainant. Admittedly, the alleged incident occurred in the house of the complainant and her husband where they were residing separately. The complainant has alleged that at the instigation of the applicants, her husband was harassing her. The complaint is silent as to whether soon before the alleged incident the applicants have visited the alleged spot of incident or not. In view of this aspect, though the application is opposed by learned APP, yet considering the absence of the applicants at the spot at the relevant time soon before the incident, case is made out to enlarge the applicants on anticipatory bail. 5. In the result, the application is allowed. Interim protection granted in favour of the applicants on 26th July 2010 is hereby extended till filing of the charge sheet. Applicants are {3} directed not to contact the complainant and other witnesses. Accordingly, the application stands disposed of. [A.V.POTDAR, J.] drp/B10/criapln2824-10
