By this application, the applicant seeks bail in connection with C.R. No. 291 of 2009 registered at Karmala Police Station, District Solapur, for an alleged offence punishable under sections 307 read with 143, 147, 148, 2 149 of the I.P.C. and sections 3 & 7 of the S.C. & S.T. Act. 3. On 9th November 2009 Jitesh Balasaheb Kamble lodged a F.I.R. stating that in the afternoon his sister Sarika complained to him that Akeel - the son of Kasab was teasing her. The complainant therefore called him and asked why was he teasing his sister. At that time, Akeel and several other persons assaulted the complainant and his friend Satpal Landge with knife and other weapons. The applicants have been arrested in connection with the said offence. 4. I have perused the F.I.R. dated 9th November 2009. The applicant no.1 has not been named in the F.I.R. The explanation offered of a threat as the reason why the applicant no.1 had not been named in the F.I.R. is not convincing. 3 5. The applicants have been arrested on 18th November 2009. The investigation has been completed and the charge-sheet has been filed on 7th December 2009. As such, the presence of the applicants is no longer needed for the purpose of investigation. In the circumstances, the applicants can be granted conditional bail. Hence, I pass the following order:- ORDER The applicants be released on bail on each of them executing personal bond of Rs.20,000/- with two sureties of the like amount subject to the following conditions: (i) The applicants shall not threaten or even contact any of the prosecution witnesses. (ii) The applicants shall report their presence at the concerned police station once every fortnight, i.e. in the 1st and 3rd week of every British calendar month. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
