Applicants Vs State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr. Viresh V Purwant, Advocate for the Applicants. Mr. K.V.Saste, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 22/06/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned PAP for the respondent. 2. The applicants are seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No. 72 of 2009 of Karmala Police Station. The said crime has been registered against the applicants for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 498-A, 306,323, 504 read with 34 of IPC. T 2 3. The prosecution case is that the deceased-Smita was subjected to harassment by her husband and the applicants on account of the fact that she delivered two female children. Applicant nos 1 and 2 are in-laws, whereas applicant no.3 is the wife of brother-in-law of the deceased. Insofar as applicant no.3 is concerned, she, at the relevant time, was not staying with the deceased and the other accused. From perusal of the FIR, it appears that the allegations made against the present applicants are general in nature. According to the prosecution, the immediate reason why the deceased committed suicide was quarrel between her and her husband, who had allegedly slapped her. Keeping that in view and considering overall facts and circumstances of the case and considering the age of applicant nos 1 and 2, I am inclined to grant this application for anticipatory bail. Hence the following order. In the event of arrest, the applicants be released on bail in the sum of Rs.5,000/- each with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the conditions stipulated in sub-section (2) of Section 438 of Cr.P.C. Further, applicant no.1 is directed to report to the concerned police station on every Saturday between 6 and 7 pm for a period of 90 days or till filing of the chargesheet, whichever is 3 earlier. Applicant nos 2 and 3 shall report to the police station as and when called. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
