Heard Mr.Ingawale, learned counsel for the applicants and Mr.Saste, learned APP, for the State. 2. The applicants have prayed for bail in C.R.No.201 of 2008 of Karmala police station, district-Solapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicants for having committed an offence punishable under sections 302, 147,148 read with section 149 of IPC. It is on the allegations that all the three lady-applicants along with seven others, had allegedly committed murder of Sarubai Phartade on 12.8.2008 at 8 pm. Sarubai died of burn injuries. There are two dying declarations on record. The first dying declaration was recorded by the police and the second dying declaration by the Special Judicial Magistrate, Solapur. In the first dying declaration the allegations made against all the accused are general in character. She, after taking names of all the accused, had stated that they all poured kerosene and set her on fire. The second dying declaration was recorded by the Special Judicial Magistrate in question and answer form. To the question, who poured kerosene? she had specifically stated Chandrakant and to the second question, who set you on fire? she had again stated Chandrakant. To the third question about the motive, she had stated that there was a dispute over the landed property. Keeping that in view and considering that all the three applicants are women and they are having small children, I am inclined to enlarge them on bail. Hence, the following order. 3. All the applicants be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- each, with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the condition that the applicants shall report to the concerned police station every Saturday between 10 and 11 am till filing of the chargesheet. 4. 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 without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
