‘Unfortunate people still prefer male child,’ says Bombay HC, refuses bail to man who killed granddaughter
AI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Bombay High Court denied bail to a man accused of murdering his infant granddaughter, noting with concern that societal preference for male children persists. The applicant had sought release by arguing his innocence and pointing out that the child's mother, a co-accused, had previously received bail.
WHY IT MATTERS
This ruling highlights the judiciary's ongoing confrontation with gender-biased violence and the continued legal accountability surrounding fatal discrimination against female infants within families.
Accused Gopinath Janku Pradhan., in his bail plea, claimed innocence and pointed out that the mother of the deceased child, who was also an accused in the case, has already been granted bail.
