Perused the application and the material available on record. 3. The applicant - accused arrested in C. R. No. 250 of 2006, registered with Khadak Police Station, Pune for the offence under Sections 307, 504 of the I.P.C., is seeking bail under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. 4. The present applicant-accused came to be arrested on 10.11.2006 and since then he is in jail. He had moved bail application in Sessions Court which came to be rejected on 12.3.2007. 5. The accused-applicant is in custody since more than nine months. The name of the applicant does not find place in the F.I.R. The applicant appears to have been implicated on the basis of statement given by one Satish Janardan Landge. No doubt, the weapon used in the commission of the alleged offence has been recovered at the instance of the present accused. However, investigation is complete. Charge-sheet has already been filed. 6. In the above premises, I find no reason to continue jail custody of the applicant any further. However, it appears that the complainant is a Member of Shiv-Sena. Possibility of pressurising the witnesses at the instance of the applicant- accused cannot be ruled out, as such bail is being granted on following terms and conditions :- a] The applicant Anwar Rukkhumuddin Shaikh arrested in connection C. R.
