Mr. K.M.Suryawanshi, APP for respondent State. ... CORAM: K.U.CHANDIWAL, J. DATE: 18/9/2009 P.C.:- 1. Heard learned Counsel and learned A.P.P. 2. The accused who is in custody from 14.7.2009, seeks bail in Crime No.46/2009 registered with Sonpeth Police Station. Counsel submits that there is belated FIR, after 24 hours and this speaks volumes against the prosecution and the manner in which the prosecution is accelerated. The Counsel informs, the accused will not live in the vicinity of the village and shall 2 abide by the condition. According to him, jumping pre- arrest bail by other accused by itself will not be a barometer to reject request of present accused/applicant. 3. The incident has taken place, projecting that, in order to teach a lesson and terorise the witnesses of other factions of community, the accused, with others, barged in the premises. Some of the accused lit the hut, ignited it and decamped. In the incident, womenfolk were attacked, they lost their ornaments, there were injuries suffered by the witnesses. Though the accused is in custody from 14.7.2009, however, considering gravity of the matter, his accomplices having jumped the bail, the accused does not deserve bail. The accused has three cases to his credit. Application rejected. (K.U.CHANDIWAL) JUDGE ... agp/3150-09crapl
