1 Cri.Appln.No.576.11 hvn IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 576 OF 2011 Salim Dastgir Shaikh ... Applicant Versus State of Maharasthra ... Respondent Mr. Priyal Sarda, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. P.S. Hingorani, A.P.P. for State. CORAM : NARESH H.PATIL & K.U. CHANDIWAL,JJ. DATED : JULY 12, 2011 P.C. 1. The accused/applicant (accused no.1) who is in custody seeks bail. He was tried with his mother accused no. 2 in Sessions case No. 61 of 2009 and 227 of 2009 for the offence punishable under section 302 read with 34 of I.P.C. The accused applicant is step son of original accused no. 2. 2, It is alleged, deceased, father of the accused/applicant had got gratuity amount of Rs. 5 lacs. The accused/applicant desired some share 2 Cri.Appln.No.576.11 from it for the shop to be opened. Denial by the father outraged the feelings of accused/applicant and consequently in the night when the deceased was sleeping in the hall with accused, the accused/applicant slit his neck by razor. We have perused post mortem notes which indicates the length of injury at neck was 18 cm, width 4 cm. The death was due to hemorrhagic shock due to incised wound at neck. Considering the evidence that accused applicant after incident of patricide having eloped and absconded for more than 8 months, we do not find any reason to disbelieve the evidence to enlarge the accused on bail. The application for bail lacks merit. Hence, rejected. (K.U. CHANDIWAL,J.) (NARESH H. PATIL,J.)
