IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3151 OF 2009 Sindhubai Vasant Savant Sahrad Popat Savant Anil Navnath Savant ..... ..... ...Applicants V/s The State of Maharashtra ..... ..... ...Respondent. Mr.Sandeep Salunkhe i/by Jaydeep D. Mane, Adv. for the applicants. Mr.H.J.Dedhia, APP for the Respondent. CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 6th August, 2009. PC: Heard. The applicant No.1 is lady whereas applicant Nos. 2 and 3 are her near relations. The family of the applicants and the family of the complainant are having agricultural lands adjacent to one another. Members of the family of the applicant tried to lay cable from near the agricultural land of the applicant’s family which gave rise to a quarrel and scuffle took place resulting into an assault by both the groups. FIR came to be filed by one Ramesh Sawant on behalf of the applicant’s family whereas another FIR was lodged by the complainant’s family. Both the crimes are registered. Persons from both the groups came to be arrested and later released on bail. According to the learned counsel for the applicant initially offence under section 324 was registered against the present applicant No.1 along with six others. All the accused were released on bail. However at later point of time section 326 of IPC came to be added on account of which the Magistrate cancelled the bail of all the seven accused including the present applicant No.1. All other six 1 accused barring applicant No.1 surrendered before the Magistrate and on a fresh application being moved for bail the six accused came to be released by granting regular bail. Applicant No.1 had not surrendered after cancellation of bail whereas applicant Nos. 2 and 3 were never arrested as at the relevant time they were hospitalized. In this fact situation I had passed an order on 23.7.09 granting interim order in favour of the applicants. In the facts of the present case I am of the considered view that the applicants are entitled to grant of anticipatory bail. In the result I pass the following order: In the event of arrest of the applicants Sindhubai Vasant Savant , Sahrad Popat Savant and Anil Navnath Savant or any one of them in CR No.131/09 for the offence punishable un/ss.324, 326, 147, 148, 149, 504, 506 of IPC he/they shall be released on bail on executing personal bond in the sum of Rs. 10,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount.
