1 CA-5604.10 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE  CRIMINAL CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.5604 OF 2010 Rajendra Machindra Shinde .... Applicant Vs. State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Shri Surel S. Shah for the Applicant. Ms S.D. Shinde, APP, for the State. Shri Milind Deshmukh for the complainant. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: DECEMBER 22, 2010 P.C: 1. This is an application for anticipatory bail by one of the 11 accused persons who were involved in an attempt to commit murder by running over the victims by a jeep. All the 10 co-accused have been arrested and bailed out. The applicant was not driving the jeep. He is alleged to be a passenger in the jeep and was holding a cricket bat in his hand. The incident appears to have occurred on account of some disputes related to Gram Panchayat Election. Considering the nature of the applicant's involvement, though the applicant should not have been absconding for 2 CA-5604.10 such a long time, the applicant's being in custody for the purpose of investigation may not be necessary. Hence, the application is allowed. In the event of his arrest the applicant be released on bail in C.R. No.191 of 2010 of Akluj Police Station, District Solapur on his furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the sum aggregating to Rs.50,000/- on the condition that the applicant shall report at the police station concerned on 27-12-2010 at 10:00 a.m. for interrogation and thereafter as and when required by the I.O.. The applicant shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him/her from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer and he shall not leave the country without the prior permission of the trial Court. 2. This order shall remain in force till the trial is over with the only stipulation that if charge-sheeted, the applicant may furnish fresh bond before the trial Court in view of the Judgment of the Supreme Court, dated 2-12-2010, delivered in Criminal Appeal No.2271 of 2010, arising out of SLP (Cri.) No. 3 CA-5604.10 7615 of 2009 {Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre v. State of Maharashtra & Ors.}. 3. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
