Mr. K.S.Patil , adv. For the Applicant. Ms P.P.Shinde, APP For the Respondent/State. CORAM : J.H. BHATIA, J. DATED : JANUARY 31, 2011. P.C. 1 Heard. The applicant seeks to be released on bail in crime no.129 of 2010 registered at Ichalkaranji police station for the offences punishable under Section 302 of the I.P.C. 2 Prosecution case in brief, is that the deceased was alcoholic and, therefore, his wife and children were living separately. However, the applicant, who is also son of the deceased, was living with him. Because of the drinking habit, there used to be frequent quarrels between them. Deceased wanted to sell their residential house, which was not liked by the applicant. Deceased had approached the first informant Sanjay Kharkande, who is a social worker, on 3.9.2010. On 4.9.2010 deadbody of the deceased was found in his house. Post-mortem report reveals that 2 his skull was crushed with several fractures of the skull bone as well as hyoid bone. Some brain part was also missing. Pahar, which is used for breaking stones and which was probably used for assaulting on head, was found near the deadbody. Applicant was arrested with blood stained clothes. In view of the circumstantial evidence against the present applicant, if bail is granted, there is every possibility that he may either abscond or may tamper with the prosecution evidence. 3 Therefore, application stands rejected.
