BA-578-11.sxw 1 Dixit IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL BAIL APPLICATION NO.578 OF 2011 Ramchandra Ganpat Gomane ... Applicant V/s. The State of Maharashtra & Anr. ... Respondents Mr. R.V. Gupta for the Applicant. Mrs. S.D. Shinde, APP, for the Respondents. CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 6 TH JULY, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard. 2. The Applicant was working as a ‘Domestic help’ with one Deepak Gandhi and Smt. Rupal Gandhi. Smt. Rupal Gandhi is the co-accused in this case. The allegation is that she, with the help of the present Applicant, got her mother-in-law and sister-in-law murdered. 3. The case of the Investigating Agency is that the Applicant had taken some loan from the said Smt. Rupal Gandhi, which he was unable to repay and, therefore, the said Rupal Gandhi suggested that he should commit murder of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law; and that, in that event, she would not only not demand the money back, but would give some additional sum to him. 4. The case against the Applicant appears to be based mainly on his own BA-578-11.sxw 2 Dixit confessional statement allegedly made by him before the Police. Apart from this, some blood stained clothes are said to have been recovered from the house of the present Applicant. The co-accused, Smt. Rupal Gandhi, who, according to the Investigating Agency, wanted the victims to be murdered, has already been released on bail (Criminal Application No.51 of 2011, decided on 18th February, 2011) (Coram : R.C. Chavan, J.). 5. Considering all the relevant aspects of the matter and, more particularly, the nature of material that is available against the Applicant, I am inclined to release him on bail. 6. Mr. Gupta, the learned Advocate for the Applicant, states that if released on bail, the Applicant intends to reside at his native place at Ratnagiri. 7. The Bail Application is allowed. 8. The Applicant is ordered to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.50,000/-, with one surety in like amount, or two sureties in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each, on the condition that the Applicant shall attend the Savarda Police Station, Taluka Chiplun, Dist. Ratnagiri, everyday between 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., except on the dates he would be required to come to Mumbai for attending the Court in connection with the trial against him. [A.M. THIPSAY, J.]
