  In this paper, we have investigated Bianchi Type-III Dark Energy Model in
f(R,T) theory of gravity proposed by Harko et al. (Phys. Rev. D84 : 024020,
2011). To find a determinate solution of the field equations we have used (i)
the fact that scalar expansion of the space-time is proportional to the shear
scalar and (ii) a variable deceleration parameter given by Mishra et al. (Int.
J. Theor. Phys. 52: 2546, 2013). Physical and kinematical properties of the
model are also discussed. It is observed that our model is in agreement with
the recent cosmological observations.
