STATE OF MAHARASHTRA) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Mr. S.I.Khan, Advocate, for applicant. Mr. Adgokar, APP for Respondent State. CORAM : A.P. BHANGALE, J. DATED : JANUARY 29, 2010. Heard. By this application, applicant prays for grant of bail in connection with Crime No. 62/2009 reported under Section 302 r/w 201 of I.P.C. With Sirajgaon Kasba Police Station, distt. Amravati. 3. It appears that applicant had moved for bail on merits before the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Achalpur and plea for bail was rejected in view of the serious nature of accusations by order dated 4th December, 2009 in Misc. Criminal Application No. 469/2009. 4. The accusations against the applicant appears to be serious. It is alleged that deceased Sachin had 2 illicit relationship with Sau.Sunita, wife of the applicant and in order to take revenge, Sachin was assaulted and thrown into well. 5. According to the learned counsel for the applicant, there is no material to indicate any direct evidence, but the material collected during the investigation is circumstantial in nature. 6. Learned APP opposed grant of bail on the ground that there is strong circumstantial evidence. Statement of Sau.Sunita was also recorded during the course of investigation which implicates the present applicant. Further more, statements of other witnesses viz. Vinod and Mukund were also recorded and alleged weapon of offence is also seized at the instance of the present applicant. The clothes of the applicant which were seized during the course of investigation were also found to be blood stained. 7. My attention is also invited to P.M. Report in which in Column No. 17 injuries have been noted, which indicate fracture on right wrist bone; left side hip and on right foot, as also contused lacerated wound on back of the head; fracture of skull bone. The opinion given by the Doctor about cause of death is due to drowning in well water after manual assault by hard and sharp object. 3 8. Considering the nature of injuries described in respect of deceased Sachin, as also material collected during the course of investigation, it indicate prima facie involvement of the present applicant, although the nature of evidence is circumstantial. Although C.A. Report is still awaited, it could not be overlooked that blood stained clothes belonging to the applicant, as also alleged weapon of offence was discovered during the course of investigation, which have already been referred for expert opinion. 9. Under these circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail. However, trial Court is directed to expedite the hearing of the Sessions Case as early as possible. Application stands disposed of. JUDGE Rvjalit.
