The sessions court rejected the bail plea of the accused bus driver saying that the bus driver drove negligently and there was no reason to believe that there was any technical fault in the bus. Additional Sessions Judge VM Pathade on January 10 rejected the bail plea of accused driver Sanjay More (54). Detailed information about this order came to light on Tuesday.

The bus refused to accept the arguments of the accused driver
The accused bus driver, while seeking bail from the court, had argued that the accident occurred due to mechanical fault in the bus. More has claimed that the accident occurred due to poor maintenance of the bus or brake failure or technical fault. But the court refused to accept this argument. The RTO (regional transport office) report states that there was no mechanical fault in the bus. The court said, ‘It is difficult to believe that there was any mechanical/technical fault or brake failure in the bus which led to this unfortunate accident.’
‘The driver put people’s lives in danger due to negligence’
The court said that due to the negligence of the driver, the lives of the passengers traveling in the bus were in danger, but the lives of people walking on the crowded road were also in danger. “Prima facie, it has been observed that the accused was driving the bus in a very rash and negligent manner even though there were many other people using the road and there were many passengers in the bus,” the order said. The judge said, ‘Considering the seriousness of the crime and the offenses under which the accused has been booked, it does not seem appropriate to release the accused on bail.’
It is noteworthy that on December 9, an electric bus operated by Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) undertaking hit pedestrians and vehicles on a crowded road near Kurla railway station. Seven people lost their lives and more than 40 were injured in the accident. Accused driver Sanjay More was arrested the same night.
