The applicant is convicted in Sessions Case No. 268/2004 for the offence punishable under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to suffer life imprisonment with fine. The allegation against the applicant is that he poured kerosene on the person of his wife on 21/1/2004 due to which she suffered serious burn injuries. According to medical Appa 469.11 2 evidence she suffered 46% burn injuries. She survived for about 30 days and succumbed to the burn injuries. During this period the deceased made two dying declarations, one was recorded by P.W.5, Executive Magistrate, and the other by P.W. 9, police officer. The deceased blamed the applicant for pouring kerosene and setting her on fire. The dying declarations are consistent. There is strong prima facie case against the applicant. The applicant was in jail through out the trial. We do not find that it is a fit case to release the applicant on bail. Bail application stands rejected. (MRS.MRIDULA BHATKAR,J.) (NARESH H.PATIL,J.)
