BA-755-11==.sxw 1 Dixit IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL BAIL APPLICATION NO.755 OF 2011 Akash Bapu Chavan & Anr. ... Applicants V/s. The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr. S.V. Kotwal, i/b. Mr. M.S. Mohite, for the Applicants. Mrs. A.A. Mane, APP, for the Respondent. Mr. Shashi P. for the First Informant. CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 20 TH JUNE, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard. 2. I have gone through the F.I.R. Initially, the case, that was registered, was only with respect to the offences punishable under Sections 143 IPC, 147 IPC, 148 IPC, 149 IPC, 341 IPC, 365 IPC and 323 of the IPC. It was registered on 15th February, 2011. It appears that on 20th February, 2011, a supplementary statement of the First Informant-victim was recorded, in which he advanced a version that one of the culprits had shown a pistol to him and had threatened to kill him. After this supplementary statement, the accusation of an offence punishable under Section 364 of the IPC and of an offence punishable under Section 25 of the Arms Act was added. No revolver has been recovered in the course of investigation. BA-755-11==.sxw 2 Dixit 3. The Applicants are in custody since 12th April, 2011. It also appears that the First Informant has sworn an affidavit on 6th June, 2011 expressing, inter alia, that the Criminal Application filed by the Applicants be allowed. Though I am not inclined to give much importance to this affidavit, which is tendered in this Court and taken on record, in the facts and circumstances, I think it proper to release the Applicants on bail. 4. The Applicants, in C.R. No.56 of 2011 of Shirur Police Station, Pune, are ordered to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.30,000/- each, with one surety in like amount, on the condition to attend the Police Station and make themselves available for investigation/interrogation, as and when required by the Investigating Officer.
