1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANTABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1931 OF 2009 Yogesh s/o Tukaram Patil. ..Applicant. V E R S U S The State of Maharashtra and ors. ...Respondent Shri C.R. Deshpande, Adv. For the applicant. Shri K.M. Suryawanshi, APP for the Respondent-State. CORAM : K.U. CHANDIWAL, J. DATE : 21ST JULY, 2009. PER COURT :- 1. Heard the counsel. Perused record. On the accusations, husband raised quarrel by referring to earlier incidents and thereafter doused kerosene on the person of the wife and set her on fire, husband seeks pre-arrest bail on the ground that there are two inculpatory dying declarations. Consequently, the prosecution case is false. 2- Interse marital relations are not in controversy. The dying declarations castigated by the learned counsel for the accused-applicant indeed implicate the applicant-accused about his role. Merits of successive dying declaration can not be decided at this stage where the accused desires a pre-arrest bail. Application lacks merit. Hence dismissed. 3- Interim protection is vacated. 4- The observations are prima facie in nature, not to be influenced by the Court concerned. ( K.U.CHANDIWAL, J. ) aaa/1931.09
