[ 1 ] IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION (BAIL) NO.3817 OF 2008 Shivaji Foolsingh Chavan ... Applicant. Vs. The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent. Mr. Raju M. Yamgar advocate for the applicant. Mr. K.V.Saste APP for the respondent. CORAM CORAM CORAM : D.B.Bhosale, J. : D.B.Bhosale, J. : D.B.Bhosale, J. DATE DATE DATE : October 23, 2008. : October 23, 2008. : October 23, 2008. P.C. 1. Heard the learned advocate for the applicant and the learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant has prayed for bail in CR No. 135 of 2008 registered with the Trombay Police Station, Mumbai against the applicant and four others for having allegedly committed offence punishable under Sections 392, 420, 411 and 170 read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code. [ 2 ] 3. Learned Counsel for the applicant, at the outset, submitted that the present applicant is entitled for bail on parity with co-accused Shrikant @ Bunty Gajanan Gondhale and Santosh @ Bala Pundlik Kurle, the applicants in Criminal Application No. 3133 of 2008 and 3134 of 2008 respectively, who were released on bail by this Court vide order dated 11th September, 2008. 4. On the other hand, the learned APP invited my attention to the order dated 17th September, 2008 passed by this Court in criminal bail application No. 3184 of 2008 by which the application of Shivaji Yellappa Mane for bail was rejected. He submitted that there is absolutely no difference between the role allegedly attributed and played by Shivaji Yellappa Mane and the present applicant. He further submitted that similar contention, as raised in this application, was advanced when the application of Shivaji Yellappa Mane was heard by this Court and the learned Judge after considering the submissions, clearly pointed out in the order the difference between the role played by accused Shivaji Yellappa and the other two co-accused, namely, Shrikant @ Bunty Gajanan Gondhale and Santosh @ Bala Pundlik Kurle. 5. I have perused order dated 17th September, 2008 [ 3 ] rejecting the bail application of Shivaji Yellappa Mane and the order dated 11th September, 2008 granting bail to the applicants Shrikant @ Bunty Gajanan Gondhale and Santosh @ Bala Pundlik Kurle. I do not find any similarity between the role allegedly played by the present applicant and the applicants in criminal bail application No. 3133 of 2008 and 3134 of 2008 i.e. Shrikant and Santosh. As rightly pointed by Shri Saste, the learned APP, this application deserves to be rejected as there is absolutely no difference between the role played by the present applicant and Shivaji Yellappa Mane. 6. Consequently, this application is rejected. ..... [D.B.Bhosale,J.] [D.B.Bhosale,J.] [D.B.Bhosale,J.]
