DATE : 01/10/2008 DATE : 01/10/2008 DATE : 01/10/2008 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard Mr Karnik, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr Saste, learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant has filed this application for being released on bail in Sessions Case No.12 of 2008 on the file of Addl.Sessions Judge, Niphad, Distrit-Nashik. The case is mainly under section 307 of IPC. The offence came to be registered against the present applicant on the allegations that he had affairs with Anita, which her daughter Sonali did not approve, and when Anita informed this fact to the applicant he got enraged and poured kerosene on her person and set her on fire in which she sustained 35% burn injuries. The applicant, after allegedly setting Anita ablaze, tried to extinguish the fire and then took Anita to hospital. The counsel for the parties state that on the last date of hearing, Smt.Tahilramani, J., had orally directed the learned APP to keep Anita present in the Court. Such direction was issued in view of the statement made by Mr Karnik, learned counsel for the applicant, that now the relations between the parties are cordial and they do not have any grievance against each other. In view thereof, Anita and her husband are present in the Court. Mr Saste, the learned APP, after talking to Anita and her husband, submits that their daughter Sonali got married and now she is in Gujarat and that they do not have any objection for releasing the applicant on bail and it is true that the relations between both the families are cordial. Keeping that in view and considering the manner in which the alleged incident occurred, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence, I pass the following order. 3. The applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the following condition: that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station every 2nd and 4th Saturday between 10 and 11 am till the conclusion of the trial.
