Ajit Singh, J. 1. Heard on I.A. (Crl.) No. 553/2016, which is an application for bail and suspension of sentence on behalf of applicant – Krishna Chetry. 2. The applicant has been convicted under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code for committing the murder of his wife – Manju Chetry. 3. According to the prosecution case, Manju Chetry was married to applicant more than 9 years prior to the date of incident. On 29.5.2011, applicant poured kerosene on Manju Chetry and then set fire on her. Manju was immediately taken to the hospital where she died during treatment. 4. There is no eye witness to the incident. Two children were born to Manju Chetry out of her wedlock with the applicant. Her one another child had died within 7 days of birth. 5. It is argued on behalf of the applicant that Manju Chetry either committed suicide or she accidentally caught fire while working in the kitchen. 6. Record reveals that soon after the incident, it was the applicant who had taken Manju Chetry to hospital for treatment. Also it is difficult to believe that after 9 years of marriage applicant will demand dowry or property from Manju Chetry. The applicant was on bail during trial and there is nothing on record to suggest that he misused his liberty. 7. On due consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, we deem it proper to grant bail to the applicant. We accordingly direct that if applicant – Krishna Chetry furnishes a solvent surety in the sum of Rs.20,000/- and executes a personal bond in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Sessions Judge, the execution of sentence passed against him shall remain suspended and he shall be released on bail. 8. The application is allowed.
