Mr.K.V.Saste APP for the State. Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 27.7.2006. PC 1. This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is being tried for offences under Sections 302 & 120-B of IPC in Sessions Case No.336/2006 at Sewree. On reading the FIR it is clear that the deceased Mahesh Chavan was stabbed by the main accused Dastagir alone. As far as present applicant and another co-accused are concerned, they are said to have threatened the crowd. My attention is drawn to the : 2 : statement of one Rizwan who himself claims to be one of the parties to a criminal conspiracy. He is an accomplice and his evidence would be a weak kind of evidence which may require corroboration. It will have to be determined at the stage of trial whether these applicants are present and have intention to kill the deceased. The motive in this case is attributed by the prosecution to the accused Dastagir alone. There are no antecedents against the present applicant. Investigation is complete and charge-sheet is filed in this case. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail. It is therefore, directed that pending his trial in Sessions Case No.336/2006, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the investigating officer once a month on every : 3 : 1st Monday of the month. Subject to these directions, application stands disposed off. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
