Respondent Mr. Abhaykumar Apte i/b R.A.Wagh, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. S.S.Pednekar, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 24/06/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.69 of 2006 of Akkalkot South Police Station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and six others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 323,326, 143,147,148,149,504 of IPC and section 135 of Bombay Police Act. 3. I have perused the FIR. Having considered the nature of allegations against the present applicant and considering that T 2 all other accused are released on bail, I am inclined to enlarge him on bail. It is true that according to the police the applicant was absconding. Mr.Apte, learned counsel for the applicant, however, submits that the applicant is a Deputy Sarpanch of the village Talwal and he was regularly attending all the meetings and, therefore, it cannot be stated that he was absconding. He has placed on record a certificate issued by the Gram Sewak in support thereof. Having considered overall facts and circumstances of the case, I pass the following order. 3. The applicant-Ram Mallu Bansode is directed to be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on first Saturday of every month between 6 and 7 pm till conclusion of the trial. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.) 3
