1 mpt IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 411 of 2010 Mangal Ramsuraj Chauhan ... Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent ... Mr.J.S. Kini i/b Suresh Dubey for the applicant. Mr.S.N.Gawde APP for the State. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATED : 8th February 2010 P.C. 1. Heard. 2. By this application, applicant seeks bail in connection with C.R.No.I-197 of 22009 registered at Virar police station, Mumbai for an offence punishable u/s.302 of the IPC. 3. I have heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the State. I have also perused the statement of the witnesses annexed to the application. There are two eye witnesses to the crime. Two eye witnesses have seen the applicant assaulting and hitting the deceased with a favda (spade). The offence is a serious offence 2 punishable with death or imprisonment for life. Taking into consideration the gravity of the offence, the possible punishment and also the fact that there are eye witnesses to the crime, in my view, the applicant cannot be granted bail. Application is therefore rejected. (D.G. KARNIK,J.)
