1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, APPELLATE SIDE NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 174 OF 2010 Vikky @ Vikas Gopal Gedam Vs. State of Maharashtra Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's orders Shri R. B. Gaikwad Adv for applicant. Shri Fulzele APP for respondents. CORAM: A. P. BHANGALE J. Dated: 17 th FEBRUARY, 2010. Learned Advocate for the applicant prays for grant of bail for the applicant on the ground that he is aged about 21 years and is a student. He is appearing in 12th standard examination. As against him, the alleged role attributed is that he was seen along with knife in his hand at the time of incident, while it is alleged that 10 persons had assaulted the deceased by means of different weapons. No weapon of offence has been recovered from the present applicant. Under these circumstances although accusations are serious since 2 no weapon of offence was recovered from the applicant and he is a student aged about 21 years, appearing for 12th standard examination, no useful purpose would be served by making him an under-trial prisoner during the pendency of the trial which may take longer time. Hence conditional bail is granted to him. Applicant be released on bail on his executing P. R. bond in the sum of Rs. 30,000/- with two or more sureties in the like amount provided that applicant shall inform his fixed address with phone/cell number (if any) to the Investigating Officer and shall communicate change therein if any, in future. Applicant shall attend the trial on each date of hearing. He shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence in any manner. Application stands disposed of accordingly. JUDGE svk 3 4 5
