1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1662 OF 2010 (Manish Ganeshprasad Dube .v. State of Maharashtra) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram appearances, Court's orders or directions Court's or Judge's Orders and Registrar's orders. Shri A.A. Naik, Advocate for the applicant. Shri A.S. Parihar, APP for the respondent/State. CORAM : PRASANNA B. VARALE, J. 29TH OCTOBER, 2010. Heard. By way present application, the applicant is seeking bail in connection with Crime No.42/2010 registered with Police Station Wadgaon Road, Yavatmal for the offence punishable under Section 307 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 4 and 25 of the Arms Act. Learned Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is falsely involved in the crime due to political rivalry. The applicant is a Corporator of Municipal Corporation, Yavatmal. He submits that the investigation is over and there is no need to keep the applicant behind the bars for indefinite period. He further submits that as alleged by the prosecution, the applicant assaulted the victim on head with sword. The medical evidence is otherwise. Learned APP has filed the reply and produced the record for perusal. Perusal of the record shows that there are statements recorded by the investigating agency. The statements reveal that the applicant was armed with sword and he assaulted the victim on head with sword. The scanning and in depth assessment of evidence at this stage is not expected. Prima facie material available with the investigating agency shows the presence and the role played by the applicant and he was armed with the deadly weapon. The applicant is a Corporation of Municipal Corporation, Yavatmal. The apprehension is expressed by the 2 investigating that the possibility of pressurizing the witnesses is justified. In view of the material placed before me, I am of the opinion that no case is made out for enlarging the applicant on bail. In the result, the application is rejected. JUDGE *rrg.
