Applicants. V/s. The State of Maharashtra. ... Respondent. Mr. K.S. Patil for the applicants. Mr. S.R. Shinde, APP for the State. CORAM: V.C.DAGA, J. CORAM: V.C.DAGA, J. CORAM: V.C.DAGA, J. DATED: 25/06/2008. DATED: 25/06/2008. DATED: 25/06/2008. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: ---- ---- ---- . Heard learned Counsel for the applicants and the learned A.P.P. 2. The applicants are seeking bail in C.R. No.I-47/2007 registered with Kopri Police Station, Dist. Thane for the offence punishable under Sections 120(B), 452, 143, 147, 149, 336, 367, 353, 506(2) of the Indian Penal Code, Section 3 of Criminal Amendment Act and Section 37(1), 135 of the Bombay Police Act. 3. The above application is moved after having suffered adverse order of anticipatory bail at the hands of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Thane passed in Order below Exhibit 1 in Bail Application No.972 of 2008 dtd. 17/6/2008. 4. Having heard and having seen the order and the observations made therein and that the house of the editor of Loksatta was allegedly attacked by the applicants, I do not think this is a case for grant of anticipatory bail. The attack on the press is nothing but attack on the right to express which is a backbone of the democracy. The nature of the offence needs investigation to find out who were behind this episode. 5. In the result, the application is rejected. JUDGE JUDGE JUDGE
