Orders
The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) allowed Santosh Kadam's bail appeal in a dowry death case, finding insufficient prima facie evidence against him despite serious charges including murder (Section 103 BNS) and atrocities act violations. The court noted vague allegations, lack of direct involvement, and his alibi (employee gate pass showing he was at work during the incident), distinguishing him from the primary accused. Bail was granted on Rs. 1 lakh security with conditions including non-tampering of evidence and travel restrictions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
