: 1 : IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3743 OF 2004 CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3743 OF 2004 CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3743 OF 2004 Shivaji N. Markad ... Applicant V/s. The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr.S.S. Salunkhe for Applicant Mr.B.H. Mehta, APP, for Respondent CORAM: A.M. KHANWILKAR, J. A.M. KHANWILKAR, J. A.M. KHANWILKAR, J. DATED: SEPTEMBER 7, 2004 SEPTEMBER 7, 2004 SEPTEMBER 7, 2004 P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: . Heard Counsel for the parties, I see no reason to enlarge the applicant on bail having regard the overwhelming material on record that the deceased was subjected to ill-treatment for the demand of dowry. The evidence as presently brought on record also indicates that the deceased was beaten by the applicant as the demand of Rs.50,000/- for dowry was not honoured. While considering the bail application filed by the applicant’s parents, this Court had occasion to peruse the record and observe that there is enough material to show that the deceased was subjected to cruelty by her husband (Applicant herein). Taking an overall view of the matter, this is not a case for grant of bail. Hence, bail application is rejected. However, the trail Court is directed to treat the trial as High Court expedited case.
