1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI.APPLICATION NO. 2606 OF 2009 Shri Mahesh Arun Ghodvinde .. Applicant Vs State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr. Shekhar A Ingawale, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. S.S.Pednekar, APP, for the Respondent. Mr S.M.Gorwadkar, for the original complainat. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 08/07/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.I-187 of 2007 of Hill-line Police Station, Ulhasnagar. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and one another for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302,120(B) read with 34 of IPC and under section 37(i), 135 of Bombay Police Act. I have perused the statement of one of the eye-witnesses,namely, Sunil Kavaria. He has clearly stated as to how the applicant and one Pappu Yadav attacked the deceased. Though the applicant T 2 was not named by the said witness, he had identified him in the test identification parade as one of the assailants. According to the prosecution, the applicant and Pappu Yadav were contract killers and they were engaged by the co-accused to eliminate the deceased-Bhishan Kamra and accordingly he was killed in the night between 13.11.2007 and 14.11. 2007. There is also a recovery at the instance of the present applicant of knife, which was allegedly used in the commission of offence. Having considered overall facts and circumstances of the case, this is not a fit case 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 uninfluenced by the observations made in this order.
