Basmath District Parbhani. ...APPLICANT. VERSUS The State of Maharashtra ...RESPONDENT. ... Shri.S.S.Chapalgaonkar,Advocate for Applicant Shri.B.J.Sonwane,A.P.P. for Respondent-State. ... CORAM : R.Y.GANOO, J. DATE : 09.12.2011. PER COURT : 1. Heard learned counsel for both the sides. 2. The present applicant is arrested in connection with Crime No. I-105 of 2011 registered with Hatta Police Station, District Parbhani for the offence punishable under sections 302, 498-A of the Indian Penal Code. The daughter in-law of the applicant-accused died on 15.07.2011, in regard to incident, which had took place on 24.06.2011. As per the case of the prosecution, 2 Cri.A.4506.11 the present applicant was responsible for the death of Rukhmini. According to the prosecution, the present applicant poured kerosene on her and put her to fire. 3. After having gone through the papers, now I am inclined to observe that this is not case where the Court should exercise discretion to grant bail. It was argued on behalf of the applicant that applicant is 70 years old and on that ground she should be released on bail. In my view, looking to the allegations made in the charge- sheet, the applicant can’t be released on bail. Looking to her age, the trial which she will have to face can be expedited. 4. In view of the above, following order is passed on this bail application. (i) Request for grant of bail stands rejected. (ii) The concerned learned 3 Cri.A.4506.11 Additional Sessions Judge, before whom the case of the present applicant is pending shall give 'Top Most Priority' to the said Sessions Case, in which the present applicant is involved and complete the trial hopefully by the end of June 2012. This is so because in the entire charge-sheet present applicant is only accused, who is facing the trial. . Learned counsel appearing for the applicant submits that his counter part will co-operate with learned Additional Sessions Judge. Needless to mention here that the learned Additional Sessions Judge shall not get influenced by the whatever observations made in the above order and he shall dispose of the case in respect of the present applicant on merits.
