((-1-)) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.7348 OF 2005 Bhagwan Sopan Sasane Applicant versus State of Maharashtra Respondent Mr.Uday Warunjikar for applicant. Mr.K.V.Saste, APP for State. CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 6th December 2005 PC : 1. Heard Shri Warunjikar for the applicant. The applicant prays for being enlarged on bail. The CR No.33/2005 registered at Dehu Road Police Station alleges offences u/s 302, 301, 34 and 404 of IPC.. The applicant has been arrested on 31st March 2005. The case of the applicant is that his wife was missing from the residential premises from 9th March 2005. She had left the house on her way to her parents placed in Purandar Taluka, Pune District. A missing complaint was lodged by the applicant himself. Later on, the CR was registered on the basis of ((-2-)) statement of son of the applicant. The son of the applicant has very clearly stated that his father namely the present applicant as well as the son Pravin have assaulted the step mother of Pravin namely the deceased and thereafter the body was put in a gunny bag and thrown in a canal. The applicant also has given his statement to this effect on 18th March 2005. The statements have been considered by the Court below and it has rightly observed that at this stage it is not possible to go into the evidentiary value of the materials. The offences being serious and grave and punishable with sentence of death or imprisonment for life and considering the manner in which the deceased was assaulted, this is not a fit case for enlargement of the applicants on bail. Hence, rejected. (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
