Versus Versus Versus The State of Maharashtra ...Respondent. .... Mr.B.A.Aloor, Adv. for Applicant. Mr.S.S.Pednekar, APP, for State. .... CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATED : 7th July, 2008. DATED : 7th July, 2008. DATED : 7th July, 2008. P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Advocate for the Applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.20 of 2008 of Bharati Vidyapeeth Police Station, Pune. The said case is under Section 302 of IPC. 3. The prosecution case is that the applicant set Fatimabai on fire. The learned Advocate for the applicant submitted that coaccused have been granted bail. The role of the coaccused and the applicant is the same. Hence, on the ground parity the present applicant should also be ..(2).. released on bail. 4. In the present case, there is one eye witness i.e. Suman, daughter of the deceased. She has stated that Nirmalabai and Gaurabai get kerosene bottle in their hands. They poured kerosene on the body of Fatimabai. Shankar Kale caught hold of the hand of her mother and the present applicant book a burning log and set her mother on fire. Fatimabai in her dying declaration has also stated the same facts. It is seen that the role of the present applicant is not the same as that of other coaccused. Hence, no case for grant of bail on the ground of parity is made out. 5. Thereafter the learned Advocate for the applicant submitted that Fatimabai died one and half months later in her house after the incident, and hence it can not be said that the applicant is guilty of an offence under Section 302 of IPC. It is seen that after Fatimabai received the burn injuries, she was taken to hospital. From the medical record, it is seen that she has sustained 35% burn injuries. The post-mortem notes shows ..(3).. that the cause of death could be haemorrhagic shock with fluid loss as a result of burns. Thus, it is seen that there is sufficient material which connects the applicant with the crime. Hence, I am not inclined to grant bail to the applicant. Application for bail is rejected.
