Hingoli ...Applicant (orig.accused) VERSUS The State of Maharashtra, through Police Station Officer, Hingoli, Tq. & Dist. Hingoli ...Respondent ..... Shri S.G.Dargad, advocate for applicant Shri D.R.Korde, A.P.P. for respondent ..... CORAM : SHRIHARI P.DAVARE, J. DATED : 20th September, 2011 PER COURT : 1 Perused the investigation papers which were made available for inspection purpose and heard learned counsel for the parties finally. 2 This is an application preferred by the applicant 2 seeking anticipatory bail apprehending his arrest under C.R. No. 94 of 2011, registered at Hingoli Rural police station, District Hingoli, for the offences punishable under Sections 307, 143, 147, 148, 149, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 135 of the Bombay Police Act. 3 It appears that the offence has been registered on the basis of the complaint lodged by the complainant, namely Ishwar Namdeo Jawale on 3.7.2011 in respect of the occurrence of the incident on the same day. It is apparent from the contents of the said complaint that the name of the applicant has been reflected in the first information report and specific role has been attributed to him during the occurrence of the incident that the applicant assaulted the complainant on both the thighs by iron rod. The injury certificate of the said victim discloses that he sustained three injuries by hard and blunt object on right third finger of left parietal region of scalf and right shoulder, respectively. Moreover, the same iron rod is yet to be recovered. 4 Accordingly, considering the accusations made against the applicant, it is apparent that custodial interrogation of the 3 applicant is imperative for the further progress in the investigation in proper manner and present application deserves to be rejected. 5 In the result, present application lacks merits and is dismissed. 6 The present application stands disposed of finally. 7 The above observations are prima facie in nature and shall be restricted to this order only and shall not be used in any other matter while deciding the same on merits.
