Mr.K.M.Suryawanshi, APP for State. ... CORAM: K.U.CHANDIWAL, J. DATE: 20.1.2011 1. Heard. The accused/applicant seeks bail in Crime No.157/2009, registered at Sadar Bazar Police Station, Jalna, in an offense under Section 302 of IPC. 2. On 22.6.2009, the accused and his associates, his brother, had consumed Beer in a shop and since they were leaving without discharging the bill, they were directed to be accosted and, consequently, the Watchman Bhagirath on duty, asked the accused, his associates about the bill. This enraged them and created a situation of embroilment. The associates of the accused controlled said Bhagirath while the accused/applicant stabbed him with force. Such injury was suffered at 2 CR.APL NO.15/2011 auxillary region, at the left side due to which, while Bhagirath was taken to the hospital, he succumbed. The post mortem notes correspond to the events as have been narrated by the eye witnesses, including the weapon and it was single blow injury that has taken toll of the precious life of said Bhagirath. 3. Though investigation is completed and chargesheet is filed, the ghastly manner and brutality with which the events have taken place, eliminating deceased Bhagirath who was lawfully discharging his duty, does not warrant for releasing the accused on bail. Application rejected. The observations are prima facie in nature. The learned Judge seized with the matter shall expeditiously dispose of the Sessions Case as the accused is in custody since 23rd June, 2009. (K.U.CHANDIWAL) JUDGE ... AGP/15-11crapl
