DATED: AUGUST 04, 2011 P.C: This is an application for bail by a person who has been convicted by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Mumbai for the offence punishable under Section 326 of the IPC and sentenced to suffer RI for five years with fine of Rs.10,000/-. He was on bail throughout the trial. He has not been named in the FIR. He was not identified at the T.I. parade. The learned counsel, therefore, states that the evidence against the applicant is very slim and therefore the applicant may be admitted to bail. The learned APP points out that a sword and a chopper were seized at the instance of 2 APPA-461.11 the applicant which were sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory and the report of the Laboratory shows that the sword and the chopper had stains of blood group "A", which is the blood group of the victim. In view of this, though the applicant has been sentenced to a limited term of imprisonment and though the applicant may be available for suffering the sentence when the appeal is taken up for hearing eventually, the applicant is not entitled to bail considering the nature of the assault in which the victim lost one of his fingers. The application is rejected. List the appeal for expeditious hearing. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
