1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JUTISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.4163 OF 2009 Sou Sunita Dilip Rauput ....Applicant. V/s The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent. Mr. C.G. Gavnekar for the applicant. Mrs. S.D. Shinde, APP for the State. CORAM: V.M. KANADE, J. DATE : 4TH NOVEMBER, 2009 P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. Applicant was arrested on 13/8/2009 in connection with the offence punishable under sections 353, 332, 333, 334 of the Indian Penal Code and under section 65(E) of the Bombay Prohibition Act, which has been registered at Rajgad 2 Police Station, District Pune vide C.R. No. 109 of 2009. 3. In the said complaint, it is alleged that the applicant’s husband had prepared an illicit liquor and he had assaulted one of the Police Constables. Applicant is in jail since 13/8/2009. It is submitted by the learned APP appearing on behalf of the State that the applicant is involved in 4 to 5 cases under the Bombay Prohibition Act. 4. In my view, further detention of the applicant in jail is not necessary. It is not alleged that the applicant had taken part in assaulting the constable. The only allegation against her is that she had threatened to file complaint against the police for outraging her modesty. Merely because some cases are pending against the applicant under the Bombay Prohibition Act, that would not be a ground to reject the application for bail filed by the applicant herein, more particularly when there are no allegations of assault by the applicant on the Police Constable. 5. Applicant, therefore, be released on bail in C.R. No. 109 of 2009 registered by Rajgad Police Station in the sum of Rs 5000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. She shall report to the concerned Police Station once in a month. 3 6. Application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
