State of Maharashtra -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr M.P. Kariya, Adv for applicant Ms S.S. Wandile, APP for State Coram: A.P. Bhangale, J Dated : 17th August 2009 1. Applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in Crime No. 147, 148, 149, 353, 333, 332, 307, 294, 506, 336, 337 o the Indian Penal Code read with Section 135 of the Bombay Police Act. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. It is alleged that applicant was addressing the mob that police should be taught lesson. They were demanding that accused detained for gambling should be forthwith released. With the help and at the instigation of applicant, members of assembly were manhandling police and the mob became uncontrolled. Some of the members of the mob started damaging shops in the market and were pelting stones at the police. 3. Applicant and 20 others have been specifically named in the FIR. It is also brought to my notice that similar application at the instance of co-accused has been already rejected. In the incident of indiscriminate stone pelting some of the police staff received injuries and one of the 2 police staff is reported to be seriously injured. In such cases, investigating agency must be given free hand to unearth real culprits, collect incriminating material and make custodial interrogation of the accused including applicant. There is no substance in the application at the instance of a person who instigated mob by his provocative speech and the enraged mob damaged the public property and injured the police staff. Application is rejected. Judge. hsj
