1 mpt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 5743 of 2009 Bhagwan Najarbandya Bhosale & Anr ... Applicants versus The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent ... Mr. R.S. Kate i/b Pankaj Deokar for the applicants. Mr. A.S.Gadkari APP for the State. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATED : 14th January 2010 P.C. 1. The applicants seek bail in connection with a crime registered under C.R.No. 202 of 2008 at Malshiras Police station. Initially, the C.R was registered u/s.307 r/w sections 147 to 149, 504, 506 and 323 of the IPC and was subsequently modified/corrected into an offence u/s. 302 of the IPC. 2. Smt.Rani Jalinder Pawar is the victim. She died about 2 ½ months after the incident. Her statement was recorded and treated as an FIR. The statement is also in the nature of a Dying Declaration. She has described the incident. Applicants have been specifically named. Thus, there is a strong prima facie case about the complicity of the 2 applicants to the crime. The offence is a serious offence punishable with death or Imprisonment for life. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I see no reason to enlarge the applicants on bail. Application is therefore rejected. (D.G. KARNIK,J.)
