Bombay High Court Grants Bail to Ex-Army Officer Accused of Wife's Murder After Four Years
The Bombay High Court granted bail to former Army officer Deepak Dhavale, accused of shooting his wife outside a Pune court in June 2022 during domestic violence proceedings. Dhavale had been detained for over four years, with the trial yet to begin despite multiple hearings. The court cited his prolonged incarceration and the right to a speedy trial. The prosecution opposed bail, citing the crime's severity, while the defense highlighted trial delays. The incident involved Dhavale firing three shots at his wife and assaulting her parents, with their daughters present but unharmed.
