AARTI BHAUSAHEB PISE vs THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND ANOTHER — APPLN/1774/2026

Case Summary: APPLN/1774/2026 Court Decision: The High Court of Judicature at Bombay (Aurangabad Bench) rejected the bail application of Abhishek Ashok Dhas, who was charged with causing the deaths of two persons through rash and negligent driving on October 3, 2025. The court found substantial incriminating evidence including witness statements, CCTV footage, and a video showing the applicant driving at 70-80 KMPH while recording the speedometer in a crowded area, and subsequently fleeing the scene instead of assisting the injured victims. Key Reasoning: The court determined that the applicant's conduct was "objectionable" and his "reckless act" resulted in two fatalities. Evidence from both car occupants and independent witnesses corroborated that the vehicle was driven rashly and negligently. The postmortem reports negated the defense claim of victim intoxication. With a maximum prescribed punishment of ten years under BNS Sections 105-106, the gravity of the offense and evidence warranted continued detention pending trial.
