Mr. Sachin Zoting , Advocate for applicant Mr S.J. Jichkar, APP for Respondent ... CORAM : A.H.JOSHI, J. DATED : May 26, 2010. 1. Heard Mr. Sachin Zoting, learned Advocate for the applicant. 2. This is an application for anticipatory bail in the background that the application for said purpose filed before the Sessions Judge has been rejected. 3. Offence punishable under section 380 IPC has been registered against the applicant. 4. The bail is prayed on the following grounds:- (a) that the FIR is delayed by nine days; (b) that there is background of dispute between the parties and the present applicant; (c) FIR No.42/2010 under sections 324, 294, 506 read with section 34 IPC lodged by present applicant, 2 prior in time, is already registered against the complainant. 5. The trial Court has granted ad-interim bail which came to an end upon dismissal of the application. 6. Learned APP has tendered case diary for perusal. 7. Learned APP has opposed bail on the ground that there are eye witnesses to the incident. 8. Perused the case diary. The manner in which the statements of witnesses they have narrated what they have witnessed prima facie creates grave suspicion as to exact commission of offence and this suspicion is fortified in the background of earlier FIR lodged at the behest of the present applicant. 9. It would not be appropriate to deal with the statements of witnesses at this stage in any further details, so as to avoid any impact on the investigation. 10. Suffice it to observe that considering the totality of the background the applicant is entitled for grant of anticipatory bail. 3 11.
