State of Maharashtra, Thru' Talegaon Dabhade Police Station ... Respondent Mr. Vikas Shivarkar for the Applicant. Mr. K.V. Saste, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 4 TH JULY, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard. 2. I have gone through the F.I.R. and the annexures to the Bail Application. Totally 16 persons have been accused of having committed the murder in question. However, 15 of them have already been released on bail by the Court of Sessions. The present Applicant was denied bail, because in the test identification parade, the injured and eye witness -Akhilesh Yadav- is said to have identified him. 3. I have considered the matter. The solitary identifying witness could not identify even the persons who have been named in the F.I.R., which names are said to be on the basis of the information given by the injured - Akhilesh Yadav. The incident has taken place in the night. Except the identification by a solitary witness, BA-453-11.sxw 2 Dixit who failed to identify the others, who are also said to be the culprits, there is no other material to connect the Applicant with the alleged offence. 4. The Applicant is in custody since 25th November, 2010. Considering all the relevant aspects of the matter, including the fact that all the other accused have already been released on bail, I think it fit to release the Applicant also on bail. 5. The Bail Application is allowed. 6. The Applicant is ordered to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.30,000/-, with one surety in like amount, or two sureties in the sum of Rs.15,000/-. [A.M.
