Vijay Palande has received a setback as the Bombay high court cancelled the bail, granted to him in 2007, in a murder case of a city businessman.
Hearing the state government’s petition seeking cancellation of Palande’s bail in the murder case of city-based businessman Swaraj Ranjandas, Justices P.V. Hardas and Abhay Thipsay held that Palande had indulged in serious offences, including three murders, after he got liberty. Palande was arrested in August 1998 for kidnapping and murdering Mr Ranjandas. In December 2002, he was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.
In December 7, 2007, the high court, while hearing his appeal, granted him bail after he pleaded that he had been in jail for nine years. However, he escaped the next year while out on parole, which was granted to him for 60 days, and remained absconding from 2003 to 2006.
Additional public prosecutor S. ManKunwar Deshmukh argued that Palande had misused liberty granted to him by committing seven serious offences, including three murders, after getting bail in 2007.
Hence, his bail should be cancelled. Palande, however, argued that he was granted bail on condition that he would report to D.N. Nagar police station, which he did. Hence, he had not violated the bail condition.
