DATED :

JANUARY 4, 2019.

P.C. :

This is an application for anticipatory bail in connection with C.R.No.199 of 2018, registered with Meghwadi Police Station, Mumbai. Applicant no.1 is wife of the deceased. Applicant nos.2 and 3 are brother and mother of applicant no.1. First Information Report was lodged on 12th July, 2018, alleging that the accused have abetted suicide committed by husband of applicant no.1. It appears that applicant no.1 had gone to her parental home. FIR indicates that victim had committed suicide by hanging on 27th February, 2018. Whereas FIR was lodged on 12th July, 2018. There were differences between parties on

rpa 2/2 913-aba-15-19.doc account of matrimonial discord. Learned APP submits that the investigation is in progress. Considering the nature of allegations reflected in the FIR, I do not find that case for custodial interrogation is made out.

Hence, I pass the following order:

:: O R D E R ::

(i) Anticipatory Bail Application No.15 of 2019, is allowed;

(ii) In the event of arrest of the applicants in connection with C.R. No.199 of 2018, registered with Meghwadi Police Station, Mumbai, they be released on bail on their furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.20,000/-, each, with one or more sureties in the like amount;
