On 13th January 2009, dead body of Dattatray Tukaram Chavan was found in the field. His wife Hirabai lodged a F.I.R., in which she stated that about a month ago there was a quarrel between the applicant and the deceased on account of canal water and she suspected that the murder was committed by the applicant. 4. The applicant was arrested. Investigation was carried out. There was a discovery at the instance of the applicant of the iron rod allegedly used for the purpose of assaulting and killing the deceased. Rahul Prakash Sutar is also an eye witness to the crime. Considering that there was a motive, discovery and an eye witness, in my view, there is prima facie material connecting the applicant to the crime. The offence is punishable with death or imprisonment for life. 3 5. In the circumstances, the application is rejected. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
