1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1432 OF 2007 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.483 OF 2005 Babaso Dhondiba Kattekari ..... Applicant. V/s The State of Maharashtra ..... Respondent. ---- Mr. S.A. Ingawale for the applicant. Mr. H.J. Dedhia, APP for the State. ----- CORAM: V.M. KANADE & S.S. SHINDE, JJ. DATE : 2nd April, 2008 P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. This is an application for bail. The applicant is convicted by the trial court for an offence punishable under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The prosecution case is that the applicant, in a fit of rage, poured kerosene over his wife and two years old daughter and set them ablaze and, as a result of which, both of them died due to burn injuries. The learned Counsel for the applicant submits that the 2 applicant, soon thereafter, has taken both his wife and daughter to the hospital and only on the basis of dying declaration, the trial court has convicted the applicant herein. 4. In our opinion, this is not a fit case for grant of bail. Hearing of the appeal, however, is expedited. Liberty is granted to the applicant to apply for bail, in the event the appeal is not heard within a reasonable period of time. (V.M. KANADE, J.) (S. S. SHINDE, J.)
