1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.72 OF 2010 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.477 OF 2006 Ramdas @ Ramu @ Hemant Parshuram Rahane ..... Applicant. V/s The State of Maharashtra ..... Respondent. Mr. Rajbali Dube for the Mr. S.R. Shinde, APP for the State. CORAM: V. M. KANADE, J. DATE : 13TH APRIL, 2010 P.C.:- 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. This is an application for bail. Applicant has been convicted for the offence punishable under sections 307, 120-B read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code read with sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act. It is alleged that the applicant had fired two shots from his fire arm. The learned APP has filed affidavit in reply in which it is pointed out that apart from there being witnesses including the statement of the injured, there is other material on record 2 which directly shows the involvement of the present applicant. Further, it is submitted that the applicant is a history sheeter and if released on bail he is likely to commit similar offence. Taking into consideration, these facts, in my view, this is not a fit case for grant of bail. Application for bail is dismissed. 3. The learned Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been convicted and sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for 7 years out of which he has already undergone 5 years and 7 months of sentence. Taking into consideration this fact, appeal is fixed for final hearing in the week commencing from 03/05/2010. Liberty to apply. (V.M. KANADE, J.) 3
