1 SNS IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI APPELLATE CRIMINAL JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.5575 OF 2010 Shaikh Wasim Shaikh Gulab ...Applicant. v. The State ...Respondents. Smt. Aisha Zubair Ansari , adv. For the Applicant. Smt.G.P.Mulekar, APP For the Respondent/State. CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATED : JANUARY 18, 2011. P.C. 1 Heard the learned counsel for the applicant and the learned APP. Applicant, who is husband of the deceased Amrin, was arrested in crime no.143/09 under Section 302 of the I.P.C. at Azad Nagar police station, Malegaon, Nashik . 2 Dying declaration of the deceased Amrin shows that she was married to the present applicant about nine months prior to the incident. Applicant used to make demands of Rs.10 lac for purchase of truck and as that demand was not fulfilled, she was being tortured by husband and other in-laws. She stated that on 3.10.2009 in the morning at about 7 a.m., her husband had poured kerosene on her and had set her ablaze. Relatives of the husband were present in the house but none came 2 forward to save her. There were four dying declarations and they are consistent as far as role of the husband is concerned. It is true that in one of the dying declarations other relatives were also given role in the actual burning while it was not so in other three dying declarations and in view of that, relatives of the applicant have been granted bail by the Sessions Court. In view of the role of the present applicant as consistently stated in all the dying declarations of the deceased, I find that it will not be in the interest of justice to grant bail to him. 3 Therefore, application stands rejected.
