1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2245 OF 2009 Vilas Babaso Khanwilkar ..Applicant. Vs. State of Maharashtra ..Respondent. Mr. A.P.Mundargi i/b Mr.K.J.Patil for the applicant. Mr. K.V. Saste A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATED : 8TH JUNE, 2009. P.C. : Heard learned counsel for the Applicant and learned A.P.P. For the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.10 of 2009 of Hupari police station, District Kolhapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and 12 others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 143, 147, 148, 149, 307, 323, 504 of I.P.C. 3. It is the prosecution case that the applicant and 12 others assaulted the complainant with weapons in their hand. Insofar as the applicant is concerned, he was not holding any weapon at the relevant time and it appears that two other accused, namely, Raosaheb Khanwilkar and Bitya @ Digvijay Khanwilkar, assaulted the 2 complainant with knives in their hand. Except the applicant, all other accused have already been granted bail. The applicant’s prayer for bail seems to have been rejected mainly on the ground that he did not disclose that his application for anticipatory bail was rejected by the High Court, while filing subsequent application for anticipatory bail before the Sessions Court. Having considered overall facts and circumstances of the case and considering that all other accused have already been released on bail and that the investigation is over and the charge-sheet has also been filed, in my opinion, continued detention of the applicant is not necessary. Hence the following order: The applicant be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs. 10,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on the first Saturday of every month between 10 am and 11 am till conclusion of the trial. 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. The application is disposed of. (D.B.BHOSALE, J.)
