Syed, Advocate for the Applicants. Mr. P.P. More, A.P.P. for the respondent/State. ..... CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J. DATED : 9TH DECEMBER, 2010 ORAL ORDER:- 1. The Application is for anticipatory bail. (2) CRI. APLN. 4695.2010 2. Heard learned Advocate for the applicants and learned A.P.P. Perused the investigation papers. 3. It is pertinent to notice that admittedly that there were previous disputes between the applicants on one hand and the members of the family of the informant-Smt. Sunita on other hand. It appears that a case was pending between them in the Court and judgment was likely to be delivered. It further appears that the relations between the applicants and the informant were strained. The FIR purports to show that on 24.10.2010 at about 4.00 pm. the applicants went to agricultural land of the informant and allegedly assaulted her. They also insulted her by referring as "Mahargya Dhedge" 4. It is important to notice that the FIR was lodged on 29.10.2010 after delay of five days. Consequently, though it is alleged that the informant Smt. Sunita was assaulted on the head and received bleeding injury, the fact is not confirmed by any medical report. Thirdly, the alleged incident is said to have occurred in the agricultural land of the informant which is not a public place. Having regard (3) CRI. APLN. 4695.2010 to these aspects and the delay in particular, and the strained relationship on account of the prior disputes between the parties, the applicants deserve anticipatory bail. 5. In the result, the Application is allowed in terms of the ad-interim order dated 23.11.2010 and on further condition that the applicants shall report their presence at the concerned Police Station on each Sunday between 10.00 am. to 2.00 pm. and shall actively co-operate with the Investigating Officer during the course of investigation and shall make no endeavour to tamper with the evidence of the prosecution.
