DATED : 8TH DECEMBER, 2008. DATED : 8TH DECEMBER, 2008. DATED : 8TH DECEMBER, 2008. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.I-151 of 2007 of Uran police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and six others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 395, 452 and 397 of IPC. 3. It is the prosecution case that on 18.11.2007 all the accused persons committed dacoity at the house of the complainant and they robbed gold ornaments worth Rs.65 Lacs. There is recovery of the ornaments worth Rs.8,52,720/- at the instance of the present applicant. The present applicant has also been identified in the test identification parade conducted 2 2 2 during the investigation. There are also witnesses who had seen the accused fleeing away from the scene of offence. Moreover, it appears that the applicant has committed instant crime while on bail in two other cases of similar nature pending against him. Keeping that all in view I am not inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence the application is rejected. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
