- 1 - IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.4238/2010 1] Yamunabai w/o Pandit Aage, age 50yrs., occu.household, 2] Krishna s/o Pandit Aage, age 19 yrs., occu.agri., Both r/o Devdi Tq.Wadvani Dist.Beed. ...Applicants.. Versus The State of Maharashtra. ...Respondent... ..... Smt.S.S. Jadhav, Advocate for applicants. Shri N.H. Borade, APP for respondent. ..... CORAM: P.V. HARDAS, J. DATE: 27.10.2010 PER COURT : 1] Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2] The applicants, who are accused in Crime No.62/2010 registered by Wadwani Police Station Dist.Beed for offence punishable u/ss.302, 304-B, 498-A and 201 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal, seek their release on bail. - 2 - 3] The applicants came to be arrested on 18.7.2010. The investigation has been completed and charge-sheet has been filed on 7.9.2010. The prosecution alleges that Ashwini was ill-treated on account of failure of her parents to meet the demand for Rs.50,000/- and thereafter she was done to death by the present applicants. Dead body of deceased Ashwini was found hanging from the rafter of the ceiling. 4] Smt.S.S. Jadhav, learned counsel for the applicants has urged before me that the applicant no.1 is aged 50 years, while the applicant no.2 i.e. brother in law of deceased, is aged 19 years and is a college going student. It is urged before me that looking to the ages of the present applicants, it would be appropriate if they are enlarged on bail. The learned APP opposes the application. 5] Since charge-sheet has been filed and I have perused the charge-sheet and I find that release of the applicants on bail would not be detrimental to the interest of the prosecution. The applicant no.1 is the mother in law, who is aged 50 years, while the applicant no.2 is the brother in law, who is aged 19 years and is a college going student. There are vague allegations that they were ill-treating deceased Ashwini on account of failure to meet the demand for payment of Rs.50,000/-. However, in the light of the aforesaid circumstances and in the peculiar facts relating to the present applicants, I am inclined to allow the present application. - 3 - 6] Accordingly, present application is allowed and the applicants are directed to be released on bail on each of the applicant executing a P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court. The applicants shall neither influence the prosecution witnesses nor tamper the prosecution evidence. It is needless to state that this order shall not be used as a ground of parity for seeking release of the husband of the deceased Ashwini, if an application in that behalf is made by the husband.
