Mr. A. M. Joshi, A.P.P. for State. CORAM : M.N.GILANI, J. DATE : NOVEMBER 28, 2011. 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. This is an application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for releasing the applicant on bail against whom an offence bearing Crime No. 167/2011 is registered with Police Station, Ramnagar, Chandrapur for an offence punishable under Section 394 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The incident occurred on 13.06.2011 at about 2.00 p.m. on the road in between Chandrapur and Chichfali village. Muralidhar Chahankar-complainant, had carried his mother for treatment to Talode-Balapur and, thereafter, was returning to Chandrpur. His vehicle was intercepted by three strangers out of whom one was armed with sword. After the vehicle was stopped, he gave a blow of sword on the windscreen of the Tata Sumo in which the complainant, his old mother and other lady were travelling. They all three relieved them off mobile, Mangalsutra, ornaments etc. First Information Report was then lodged. From the present applicant-accused sword and from co-accused gold ornaments were seized. During identification parade, present applicant-accused was identified. 2 4. Considering the involvement of the applicant-accused in the highway robbery, learned Additional Sessions Judge, Chandrapur was right in rejecting the bail application. The application is, therefore, rejected. Learned trial Judge shall make endeavour to dispose of Criminal Case No. 294/2011 as expeditiously as possible and in any event within a period of four months from the date of receipt of this order. Compliance be reported to this Court. The application stands disposed of. JUDGE kahale
