3. The complaint is filed on 30.07.2017 by one

Baburao s/o Jairam Saibanne, stating that he has four

children. Her daughter Pooja’s marriage with accused

No.1 Nyaneshwar had taken place during the year 2014.

After the marriage few months there is cordial

relationship between husband and wife. They have no

issues. Accused No.1 was making mockery of the status

of the victim. Pooja was also ill-treated through demand

of dowry. Accused No.2 father-in-law was misbehaving

with her. She went to her parents house.

4. That on 19.07.2017 both the accused No.1

and 2 together had gone to the house of complainant.

After holding Panchayat, she was brought to

matrimonial home. Again on 24.07.2017 she went to

her maternal home for Nagar Panchami festival and

returned along with her husband on 29.07.2017.
4

5. On the same day at 4.30 p.m. Pooja by

pouring kerosene and set ablaze herself. In this

connection parents of the Pooja went to the spot and

came to know that Pooja sustained grievous burn

injuries over chest, stomach, back and limbs. No one

did take her to Hospital. It is also stated in the

complaint that her father-in-law was making advances

and misbehaving towards her. On enquiry Pooja

revealed that she was ill-treated heavily by the accused

persons and she unable to tolerate harassment made by

the accused No.2-mother-in-law. Hence, she dosed

herself with kerosene and set her ablaze. Thus before

closing of eyes, she is said to have stated her plight with

her father. Because of the burn injuries she

succumbed.

6. The case is registered for the offences

punishable under Sections 3 and 4 of the Dowry

Prohibition Act, 1961 and Sections 498A, 306, 304B

R/w Section 34 of IPC.

7. The learned HCGP opposes the bail petition

and submits that there are no grounds to grant bail to

the petitioner.

8. The learned counsel for petitioner would

submit that the accused No.3 Chandrabhaga w/o

Gundappa Bhatare has been released on bail. The bail

applications of present accused No.1 and 2 came to be

rejected by the Special Judge.

9. In the context and circumstances main

allegation is that dowry, cruelty and un-warrant

advances made by the accused No.2 on complainant.

However, in the context and circumstances of the case, I

am of the sincere view that at this stage petitioner No.2

Gundappa may be released on bail.

6

10. But not petitioner No.1 to whom a liberty to

file another bail petition after examination of CW.1 and

2.

11. Thus, I am of the view that there are no

likelihood of interfering with investigation if the bail is

granted to the petitioner No.2. However, the

apprehension of the prosecution would be resolved by

imposing conditions on the petitioner No.2.

Hence the following;

ORDER

The petition filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. by

the petitioners is hereby partly allowed.

The petitioner No.2 is ordered to be enlarged on

bail in Cr.No.111/2017 of Manthal Police Station for the
