1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. Criminal Application No. 3192 of 2009 Chandbi v. State of Maharashtra -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr N.B. Kalwaghe, Adv for applicant Ms Rachana Wasnik, APP for State Coram: A.P. Bhangale, J Dated : 11th September 2009 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for State. Applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in Crime No. 85/2009 registered with Police Station, Jalgaon (Jamod) District Buldana under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. Applicant admits that in her dying declaration, deceased Aminabi has implicated applicant by stating that it was applicant who brought kerosene, poured on her person and set her on fire. Contention of the applicant’s counsel that since in the past there was no complaint lodged by deceased against her, she should be held innocent at this stage, cannot be accepted. Learned counsel further states that contents of dying declaration should not be believed, because it is unbelievable that applicant would set Aminabi on fire in presence of her father. It would be too early and premature to disbelieve contents of dying declaration at this stage. 2 3. Nature of offence is serious which is punishable with death or life imprisonment. No case for grant of anticipatory bail is made out. Application is rejected. Judge. hsj
