jpc ba658-11.sxw 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL BAIL APPLICATION NO. 658 OF 2011 Dharmendra Arjun Lad ... Applicant Versus The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr. M.K. Kocharekar, i/by Sandeep Babar for the applicant Mr. K. V. Saste, APP for the State CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 15th July, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard Mr. Kocharekar, the learned advocate for the applicant and Mr. Saste, the learned APP for the State. 2. I have gone through the First Information Report and other documents that are annexed to the bail application. 3. Mr. Pravin Ghag- husband of the first informant- Smt.Swapnali- died a homicidal death. His body was found lying in a well. Injuries were noticed on his body. The first informant suspected that he was murdered by certain persons named in the first information report, including the applicant. After the investigation, the police filed charge sheet on 16/11/2010. At that time, the present applicant was not chargesheeted. It appears that, on 24/11/2010, statements of two jpc ba658-11.sxw 2 persons came to be recorded, on the basis of which, the applicant was also implicated in the case and the supplementary charge sheet was filed against him on 7th February, 2011. The applicant is in custody since 10/11/2010. 4. I have carefully considered the matter. Except suspicion, there is nothing against the present applicant. His implication is made on the basis of the statements of the witnesses, which are argumentative and inferential in nature. Except the suspicion felt and perceived by the first informant and other prosecution witnesses, there is no other material against the applicant. In fact, one of the co-accused- Baliram- has been already released on bail on the ground that there was no material against him except the suspicion. 5. Considering all the relevant aspects of the matter, the applicant deserves to be released on bail. 6. The application is allowed. 7. The applicant is ordered to be released on bail in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) with one surety in like amount or two sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each. (A.M. THIPSAY, J.)
