Mr. N B Kalwaghe ,Adv. for applicants Mr K S Dhote APP for Respondent .......... CORAM : A.P.BHANGALE, J. DATED : JANUARY 18, 2010. Heard. 2. Applicants are seeking anticipatory bail in connection with FIR No. 91/2009 reported at Dongaon Police Station, Tq.Mehkar Dist. Buldana for offence punishable under sections 306, 304-B, 498A read with section 34 IPC. The applicants are related inter se as sisters-in-law to the deceased. According to learned Advocate for applicants, they were residing at their matrimonial homes which are situated at Washim and Bori respectively, which are away from village Dongaon which is in Tq.Mehkar, Dist.Buldana. 3. It appears that the alleged incident of suicide occurred on 6.12.2009; while it was reported on 8th December, 2009. 2 4. Learned APP objected the anticipatory bail on the ground that investigation is pending regarding the alleged harassment or demad for dowry by the husband and in-laws of the deceased. 5. It is common knowledge that while considering the plea for anticipatory bail in such cases, the possibility or tendency on the part of complainant to rope in as many relatives of the husband as possible can not be overruled. In this case, it does not appear to be case of the respondent that the applicants were present at the time of the incident at Dongaon Tq.Mehkar Dist. Buldana. That being so I am inclined to grant conditional anticipatory bail. Hence the following order: In the event of arrest of the applicants in connection with FIR No.91/2009 reported on 8th December 2009 for offence punishable under sections 306, 304 (B) 498A read with sec. 34 IPC, they shall be released upon executing PR bond in the sum of Rs. 30,000 by both of them, with one or more sureties in the equal amount to be provided by each of them, provided further that they shall attend the Investigating Officer as and when required; they shall inform their fixed/permanent address with cellphone/telephone number to the I.O.; they shall not commit any crime while on bail ; shall not communicate with witness or witnesses acquainted with the facts of the case and shall not tamper with the evidence in any manner. This order shall remain operative until charge-sheet is filed in the case. Upon filing of 3 charge-sheet, the applicants shall formally surrender themselves before the trial Court and apply for bail on merits. Present Application is disposed of accordingly. JUDGE sahare
