The Bombay High Court rejected the bail application of a man accused of murdering his one‑month‑old granddaughter, keeping him in custody pending trial.
Mumbai, September 19 (Reuters) – The Bombay High Court on Monday refused bail to a man charged with the murder of his one‑month‑old granddaughter. The court, hearing the application, concluded that the seriousness of the alleged offence warranted continued detention.
The accused, whose identity has not been disclosed, remains in police custody while the investigation proceeds. The court ordered that the matter be forwarded to the trial court for further proceedings.
Legal counsel for the defence argued that the petitioner was cooperating with investigators, but the bench emphasized the need to safeguard public confidence in cases involving extreme violence against children.
The decision underscores the judiciary's cautious approach in granting bail for grave offenses, especially those involving minors.
The case will now move forward under the regular criminal trial process in Maharashtra.
