DATE : 6th April, 2010 PC : 1 This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in CR No. 66/2009 registered by Velapur Police Station for alleged offences under Sections 498-A, 306, 323 and 504 of the I.P.C. Deceased Kalpana was the wife of the present applicant. She was missing from the morning of 2.11.2009. On 3.11.2009, the complainant and his family members arrived in the village of the deceased and they also made search 2 of the deceased. The police have recorded the statements of the witnesses indicating that the applicant husband has also made search of the deceased and even searched in the well. On 3.11.2009 the parents of the deceased visited the village of the deceased Kalpana and also made search of the deceased in the village. On 4.11.2009, the body of the deceased was found floating in the well. On the same day the body was removed from the well by removing water from the well. Though there is a allegation of demand of dowry, the question is whether there was any accidental death has to be gone into. The post mortem notes does not indicate any injury on the person of the deceased and therefore, question of accidental death is a plausible defence. In the circumstance, pending trial in C.R. No.66/2009 registered by Velapur Police Station, applicant will be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the Investigating 3 Officer on every first and third Monday between 11.00a.m. and 5.00p.m. and will remain present on all the dates of the trial in the trial court, unless exempted.
