1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.323 OF 2011 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.975 OF 2005 Amakka Shankar Potraj and Anr. .. Applicants. Vs. The State of Maharashtra .. Respondents. Mr.Niranjan Shimpi for the applicants. Dr.F.R.Shaikh APP for the State. CORAM : B.H.MARLAPALLE & U.D.SALVI, JJ. DATED : MARCH 14, 2011. P.C. 1. Heard Mr.Shimpi, learned counsel for the applicants. 2. The applicants have prayed for being released on bail during the pendency of Criminal Appeal No.975 of 2005. It is submitted that the applicants are in jail right from 26.1.2005 and thus they have already undergone more than six years of imprisonment. Applicant No.1 is the mother of applicant no.2 and accused no.3, the husband of present applicant no.1 has already been released on bail. 3. It is not in dispute that on admission of the appeal, the prayer for bail of the applicants was turned down and subsequently in Criminal Application No.1082 of 2010, they were granted liberty to revive the request for grant of bail, if the appeal was not listed for hearing within a reasonable time. Hence this application. 4. The paper book is ready and we have noted that the prosecution S 2 case is based on two dying declarations of the deceased, who was the wife of applicant no.2 and daughter-in-law of applicant no.1. She died of burn injuries while in matrimonial home. We are satisfied that no case has been made out to release any of the applicants on bail as of now. 5. We are presently hearing Criminal Appeals (Jail) of 2003. Criminal Appeal No.975 of 2005 may find its place in the final hearing board in June, 2011 or earlier also. 6. Hence we direct that Criminal Appeal No.975 of 2005 may be added in the final hearing board in due course. 7. Application is rejected. (U.D.SALVI,J.) (B.H.MARLAPALLE,J.)
