In the dying declarations themselves the victim stated that the husband himself extinguished the fire and took her to the hospital. Apart from this, the investigation reveals that the victim was suffering from a mental disorder and was being treated for the same by one Dr. Mohan Sahastrabuddhe. She had also been admitted as an indoor patient for some time in a hospital and had thereafter been discharged. She had not followed up the treatment which was given to 2 BA-520.11 her and on 10-8-2010 she was again taken to Dr. Sahastrabuddhe by the applicant himself. Four days thereafter the incident occurred. Considering the assessment by the Psychiatrist and the fact that the investigation is complete and the charge-sheet has been filed, the applicant's being in jail pending the trial may not be necessary. The applicant be, therefore, released on bail in C.R. No.I-92 of 2010 of Yeola Police Station, Nashik, on his furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the sum aggregating to Rs.25,000/-. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
