1 ABA 999 OF 2011 vks IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION NO.999 OF 2011 Ashraf @ Tatya Gulam Rasul Patel .. Applicant -versus The State of Maharashtra .. Respondent. Mr. A. A. Kumbhkoni, Senior Counsel, with Mr. Sachin Deokar, for the applicant. Mr. K.V. Saste, APP for the Respondent State. Mr. V. V. Purwant for the original complainant. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: 8th December, 2011 P.C. 1. This is an application for anticipatory bail by a master who is alleged to have asked the victim's colleague to shoot the victim, because the victim had disobeyed the master in respect of restoring unlawful power supply. The victim had specifically stated about the disobedience by making telephone calls before his death. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the victim died accidentally and since his own revolver fell on the ground and fired automatically. The bullet entered from victim's bottom since victim was sitting on a plastic chair and the bullet pierced inside the body. Inquest panchnama as well as notes of postmortem examination would show that the bullet had not entered from the bottom but by the side. The notes of 2 ABA 999 OF 2011 postmortem examination shows that the entry wound was about 13 cm left to mid-line, 47 cm below left shoulder tip, 14 cm above left interior superior iliac spine. This apart, the question as to whether the revolver could automatically fire on falling of ground would also have to be examined by the Forensic Science Laboratory. In view of this the applicant is not entitled to anticipatory bail. Application is rejected. (R. C. CHAVAN, J.)
