society where parents of the deceased reside, deposed that he had seen the deceased and the applicant going on a motorcycle by P. K. Road. P.W.4 - Vithal Thite, who was at the tea stall, deposed that he had seen the applicant going with the deceased towards the applicant’s residence, which was quite near the said tea stall. P.W.6 - Rohini Dhabade has deposed that she is residing on the upper floor opposite to the applicant’s residence in Ambika Chawl. On 26.01.2017, at about 10:30 a.m., she had seen the deceased going upstairs to the applicant’s residence. She also saw the bike used by the applicant near her residence. All these witnesses have sufficiently established that the applicant had taken the deceased to the matrimonial house on the date of the incident. The deceased was found dead in applicant’s house. The applicant had taken a plea of alibi, which was not accepted by the learned trial Judge by giving cogent reasons. Subsequent conduct of the applicant of absconding from the scene of offence also does not support his case. Thus, considering all these circumstances together, there is sufficient strong material to reject the application for bail. No case is made out for granting bail. Criminal Application No.2692 of 2021 stands rejected.
