The applicants are seeking bail in C.R.No.127 of 2008 of Ratnagiri City police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicants and two others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 307,323,504, 506(II) of IPC and sections 5 and 27 of the Arms Act. 3.

At the relevant time, applicant no.1 allegedly attempted to assault the complainant with stone, whereas applicant no.2, who was armed with sword, tried to assault the complainant with sword. The complainant has not sustained any injury in the incident. Keeping that in view and considering the nature of allegations and the manner in which the alleged incident occurred, as reflected in the FIR, I am inclined to enlarge them on bail. Hence, the following order. . Both the applicants to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each, with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that they shall not enter the jurisdiction of Ratnagiri city police station, except for attending the date/s in the court and as and when called by the police for a period of six months.

They shall also keep their residential address informed to the concerned police station. After six months they shall continue to report to the concerned police station (Ratnagiri city police station) on every Saturday 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 without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
