A complaint has been filed against the applicant for the offence punishable under Section 302 of the IPc. The applicant was residing with the deceased and her daughter in their house for about two years and he was asked to vacate the place. It is alleged that the applicant assaulted the deceased and as a result, she succumbed to injuries. The trial court rejected the application on the ground that the applicant and the - 2 - deceased were last seen together and they was strong circumstantial evidence against the applicant and also that the applicant was absconding for a period of five years. 4. In my view, in view of the above said circumstances, no case is made out for grant of bail. The hearing of the criminal case is expedited. If the trial is not over within a period of six months, liberty is granted to the applicant to apply for regular bail. 5. Application is rejected. (V.M. KANADE, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.) (V.M. KANADE, J.)
