Perused the application and the material available on record. 3. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.

The F.I.R., discloses that on 11.3.2007 at about 10.00 a.m. the accused-applicant had come to the house of the complainant in a white colour jeep and had enquired about her husband. As her husband was not in the house, so he went away by abusing the complainant. The F.I.R. further discloses that during night time the complainant Sangita Rokade came out of the house after hearing some shouts and saw the present accused-applicant while running away from the scene of offence and she has also witnessed setting her father-in-law (i.e.the deceased) on fire who was shouting. Thus, there is prima facie material to connect the applicant with the offence alleged against him. 4. At this juncture, it would be relevant to note that the learned Sessions Judge, Pandharpur has already rejected the bail application of the applicant vide its order dated 5.7.2007 in Misc.Cri.Appln.
