1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2693 OF 2007 Jitendra @ Jitu Rajaram Vichare ..Applicant V/s. The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent Mr.H.D.Patil with Mr.S.G.Swami, advocate, for applicant Ms.M.H.Mhatre, Assistant Public Prosecutor, for respondent CORAM : V.C.DAGA, J. DATE : 6TH SEPTEMBER, 2007 P.C. 1. Heard learned counsel appearing for the applicant and learned Assistant Public Prosecutor. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in Crime No.I 76 of 2007 registered with Central Police Station, Ulhasnagar for the offence punishable under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. 2 3. The facts in dispute are as under :- Deceased Annu was residing with accused as wife having two daughters. She used to demand amount from accused every now and day and used to abuse her. On 6th April, 2007, she demanded Rs.5,000/- from accused which resulted in hot exchange of words. On insistence for amount, her neck was pressed by accused and ultimately she was killed. 4. It appears that during the night of the incident the present applicant was in the company of the deceased Annu sleeping with her. One Mahesh Kelani said to be pimp was also present in the said room. He seems to be eye witness. Two statements of other witnesses who have testified that the present applicant had taken a room in question on rent and he was staying with the deceased, who was said to be prostitute. Looking to the material available on record there is sufficient evidence to 3 connect the present applicant with the offence alleged. In my view, this is not a fit case for grant of bail. Application stands rejected. (V.C.DAGA, J.)
