At this stage of matter, the merits as a whole should not be taken into consideration. The fact remains Dwarkabai and others have witnessed the brutal manner in which Rambhau was dealt with and the witnesses are bound to be under fear when the accused would commit the act in such a manner. Consequently, no case for bail. Application rejected. [K. U. CHANDIWAL, J.] Dated:10/08/2009. ans/2197
