Kamala Mills fire: Bombay HC rejects bail plea of restaurant owners

Justice Prakash Naik on Thursday dismissed the bail applications filed by the owner of Mojo Bistro and the owners of 1Above pub.

The committee said they came to know that Gowani and the restaurant owners knowingly allowed illegal additions to the structure.

The victims are likely to explain how one of the two-gutted restaurants did not have an exit door that led to the casualties.

After hearing arguments judge S.V. Yarlagadda accepted prosecution’s arguments that the accused should have conducted the inspection.

Mahale and Shinde, who were arrested on March 1, were among the 11 persons arrested in connection to the fire.

The judge observed that knowledge seemed to be there that the condition of the place could lead to an accident.

Bhandari had claimed in his plea that he cannot be held liable for the fire tragedy and had termed his arrest 'illegal detention'.

In petition, Ravi Bhandari has claimed his arrest was an illegal detention and said that he could not be held liable for the fire tragedy.

Statement says bodies were lying on toilet floor of 1 Above.
