The road was only 20 feet wide. It cannot be inferred at this stage that the applicant\/accused was not knowing condition of the road on the highway and he was not oblivious of the fact that the road\/bridge is narrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The time when the incident took place is also relevant.<\/p>\n<p>Any person of ordinary prudence would not dare to drive a passenger bus at such speed at a pe-dawn hour. Therefore, it cannot be said the applicant was not having knowledge of the act that he was committing by driving the bus at such high speed and risking the lives of so many people, ultimately causing their deaths,&#8221; Justice Badar said.<\/p>\n<p>( Source &#8211; PTI )<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bombay High Court has rejected the bail plea of the driver of a luxury bus that plunged into a river off the Mumbai-Goa highway four years ago, killing 37 passengers and injuring 15 others.
