1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 4961 OF 2009 Shri Sanjay Shankarrao Navarkele ...Applicant vs. The State of Maharashtra ...Respondent Mr.Biju S. Joshi for the Applicant. Mrs.S.D. Shinde, APP for the State. CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. DATED : DECEMBER 3, 2009 P.C. :- 1 Heard Counsel for the applicant and APP for the State. 2 The applicant has been arrested in connection with an offence punishable under Section 302 of the IPC by the Ganeshpuri Police Station, Thane. 3 It is alleged that the applicant poured 2 kerosene on his wife and set her on fire. The dying declaration of the deceased has been recorded by the Investigating Officer and also by the Special Executive Magistrate. The statements of the neighbors also have been recorded wherein they have stated that there used to be frequent quarrel between the husband and wife. Taking into consideration this material which is on record against the present applicant, in my view, this is not a fit case for grant of bail. The application is rejected. 4 The applicant is in jail since last two years. The Sessions Court is directed to expeditiously decide the case, if possible within a period of eight months from today. If it is possible, this case may be transferred to the Fast Track Court. 4 Application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE, J.) 3
