Mr.Pratap Patil and Mr.A.B.Patil for the applicant. Mr.K.V.Saste A.P.P. for the State. Coram: D.B. BHOSALE, J. Dated : 25TH 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.16 of 2009 of Karad Taluka Police Station, District Satara. The crime has been registered against the applicant and four others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 399 and 402 of IPC and under sections 3 and 25 of Arms Act. 3. The applicant and four others were found making preparation to commit dacoity. The other four accused are juvenile and they are released on bail. The investigation is over and the charge-sheet has also been filed. The trial is 2 likely to take long time. In view thereof, in my opinion, continued detention of the present applicant is not necessary. Hence the following order: The applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.5,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the condition that he shall report to the concerned police station on every Saturday between 6 pm and 7 pm for a period of three months and thereafter on every alternate Saturday between 6 pm and 7 pm 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. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
