...

CORAM : S. G. MEHARE, J.

DATE : 17.11.2022 PER COURT :- 1.

Issue notice to the respondent, returnable forthwith. Learned APP waives service of notice for the respondent-State. 2.

Heard the learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent-State.

3.

The applicant has filed present application for temporary bail to attend the marriage of his brother. He has filed a bunch of record. The learned counsel for the applicant argued that the applicant is a Karta of the family. His parents are too old. Hence, he has to perform marital formalities. The applicant is a Hindu and in Hindu marriages, the brother has a least role to play in the marriage, when the parents are alive. It appears that the applicant any how wants to come out of the jail. The

917-BA.1915-22.odt applicant and his relatives did not consider the state of mind and future effect on the life of the girl, if a person under handcuffs attends the marriage. Rather, it would not be a good message in the society. Otherwise, the marriage of the brother is not such that cannot be performed in the absence of elder brother. That apart, the reasons assigned by the applicant for temporary bail does not appear genuine and hence the application stands dismissed.
