REBELLO REBELLO REBELLO & K.U.CHANDIWAL,JJ. K.U.CHANDIWAL,JJ. K.U.CHANDIWAL,JJ. DATED: JUNE 09, 2008 DATED: JUNE 09, 2008 DATED: JUNE 09, 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. . The appellant has been convicted for having killed his wife by throttling her. During the trial, bail has been rejected. This is an application for bail at the stage of appeal. . On behalf of the appellant, the learned counsel submits that there is no sufficient medical evidence to indicate that the death was caused by throttling and that the deceased had history of epilepsy and could have in the course of such attack strangulated herself. . The evidence on record is that the accused in the morning when the deceased was found dead, had called out to one Hajira. In other words, the presence of the accused in the house at the time of death of the deceased was found and has been established. The Doctor who has conducted post mortem in his medical evidence has deposed that the death has been caused by throttling. The doctor has set out that the first and second tracheal rings were fractured below the thyroid cartilage. He has further set out that the throttling could not have been self inflicted because the victim himself could not extend so much pressure on her neck sufficient enough to cause fracture of tracheal rings. In our opinion, considering this evidence at this stage, there is material to indicate the guilt of the accused. . In the light of the above, application for bail rejected. (K.U.CHANDIWAL, J.)
