No. 56 of 2009 registered at Akluj Police Station, District Solapur, for an alleged offence punishable under section 302 and other sections of the I.P.C. 3. Dying declaration of the victim was 2 recorded. In the dying declaration, the victim has named the present applicant. The applicant held hand of the deceased while the husband of the deceased poured kerosene on her and lit the fire. Thus, there is a prima facie material connecting the applicant to the crime. The offence is a serious offence punishable with death or imprisonment for life. In the circumstances, the applicant cannot be granted bail. However, considering the fact that the applicant is a female having young children, the trial can be expedited. Hence, I pass the following order: ORDER The application is rejected. However, the trial is expedited. The learned Sessions Judge is requested to commence the trial within 6 months and complete it as soon as possible thereafter. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
