DATE : 2nd March, 2009 P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicants and the learned APP for the State. 2. Applicants have been arrested in connection with the offence punishable under section 307 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code which is registered at Turbhe Police Station vide C.R. No.I- 553/2008. Applicants, initially, had filed an application for anticipatory bail which was rejected by this Court and, thereafter, the applicants surrendered to the police on 16/2/2009. The investigation is almost over. The injury certificate of Kishore Thakare indicates that he had sustained injury on the right side of his head, right forearm and arm and on right abdomen. Out of four injuries, three injuries are simple and one injury on the forearm is grievous. The person who was 2 injured has stated that the injuries were caused by one Sunil Khandekar and not by the present applicant. Looking at the nature of injuries, it does not appear to be an offence under section 307 of the Indian Penal Code. This being the position, the applicant deserves to be released on bail. 3. Applicants be released on bail in C.R. No.I-553/2008 in the sum of Rs 5000/- each with one or two sureties in the like amount. They shall report to the concerned Police Station twice in a month till filing of the charge-sheet and, thereafter, once in a month. 4. Trial Court shall not be influenced by the observations made by this Court while deciding this application for bail as these observations are prima facie in nature and it shall decide the criminal case on its own merits and in accordance with law. 5. Application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
