Heard the learned counsel for the Parties. 2. This application is filed by Chandrakant and Prashant, who are accused in Crime No.8 of 2007 registered at Mahad Taluka Police Station for the offences punishable under Sections 302, 365, 362, 504, 506 read with Section 34 of the I.P.C. registered on the complaint of one Ashok Babu Vinherkar. As per the report on 7-3-2007 the said Ashok and his companions including Shantaram were proceeding towards Karanjande Railway Station. At that time, the present applicants came out by Tata Sumo. They forcibly dragged Shantaram and forced him to sit in that Tata Sumo and thereafter they fled away by that Tata Sumo. On 14-3-2007 the dead body of Shantaram was recovered from Mahabaleshwar Valley. The present applicants came to be arrested on :2: 28-4-2007 on the basis of clues received by the police. According to the prosecution, the applicant Chandrakant had admitted the commission of crime at the behest of one Ramchandra and he also disclosed the manner in which the offence has been committed. Although the statement before the police may be inadmissible in law but it may be used for the purpose of further investigation. However, the prosecution evidence reveals that both the present applicants were identified by three witnesses Ashok, Mansi and Mahesh as the persons, who had kidnapped Shantaram. 3. Taking into consideration this material against the present applicants, I find that it is not a fit case to grant bail. 4. Application stands rejected. (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.) (J.H.BHATIA,J.)
