For example, the case of drunken driving in an inebriated state, under the influence of alcohol would give rise to an inference that the person so driving had the knowledge that his act was likely to cause death.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court further noted that the case at hand is not comparable to a case of drunken driving in an inebriated state. The offence under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561615\">308<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\">IPC<\/a> may also not get attracted in the facts and circumstances of the case. However, the said question would be decided by the trial court at an appropriate stage.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court opined that it may be difficult for the prosecution to sustain the charge under Sections <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561609\">304<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001561615\">308<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726960\">IPC<\/a> as there may have been some infraction of regulatory requirements to run a hotel, but that would not amount that the accused-applicants have been negligent or they failed to take due care of their guests or they had knowledge of fire accident, which would result in death\/injuries to the guests.<\/p>\n<p>The Court considered the fact that the charge sheet has already been filed and the accused- applicants are in jail since 5-9-2022 and 6-9-2022 respectively enlarged the accused on bail on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of Court concerned with the following conditions:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-left: 36pt;\">(ii) The applicants shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through their counsel.
