The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.744 of 2007 of Chaturshringi police station, Pune. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 396 and 397 of the IPC. 3.

He submitted that except the recovery of blood stained clothes and that too from a laundry, there is absolutely no material on record to connect the present applicant with the alleged offence. Admittedly, no test identification parade has been conducted in the instant case. The chargesheet has already been filed. No specific role has been attributed to the present applicant. Ms.Shinde, learned APP, could not and has not dispute the submission of Mr Shivarkar, learned counsel for the applicant, that the applicant is entitled for bail on parity with Amin Kabir Shaikh. Mr Shivarkar also invited my attention to the other material on record to contend that even other accused against whom the material of similar nature exist, have also been granted bail. Having regard to overall facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, in my opinion, the applicant is entitled to be released on bail on parity. Hence, the following order. . The applicant is directed to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with two local sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that he shall report to the concerned police station on every Saturday between 10 and 11 am till conclusion of the trial. .

The application is disposed of. (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.)
