Mr.D.G.Nagode, Advocate for applicants Mr.B.J.Sonawane, APP for respondent State ....... [CORAM : A.V.POTDAR, J.] DATE: 11th February 2010 {2} PER COURT: 1. This is an application by which the applicants have prayed to release them on bail in connection with CR No.172/2009 registered with Sonai Police Station, as the applicants are arrested on 10.12.2009 and still they are in jail. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicants and learned APP. Perused the papers of investigation. 3. It appears that the said offence came to be registered on the complaint of one Genudas Ravade in respect of an incident dated 09.12.2009. It further appears that in respect of the same incident, a cross complaint is filed by the wife of applicant No.1 against the present complainant and the persons who are shown as witnesses in CR No.172/2009. Therefore, the allegations in the present offence require to be considered in the light of these aspects. It is alleged in the complaint that applicant No.1 has assaulted Rajaram, applicant No.2 assaulted Janabai and Shantabai while there are vague allegations against applicant No.3. Though the injuries sustained by Rajaram, allegedly at the hands of Rajaram, are serious, yet after treatment, he is discharged from the hospital. Nature of injuries sustained by Janabai and Shantabai is simple. Admittedly, though the applicants are in jail for more than 60 days, and the offence against them is triable by the Court of Magistrate, yet no charge sheet has been filed. {3} However, investigation is practically over. In the premise and considering the fact that there are cross complaints, there are no chances of tampering of witnesses by the applicants and they are in jail for more than 60 days, case is made out to enlarge the applicants on bail. 4. In the result, the application is allowed. The applicants be released on bail on their furnishing surety in the sum of Rs. 15,000/- each and on executing PR bonds in the like amount. Applicants are directed not to tamper the prosecution witnesses. [A.V.POTDAR, J.] drp/A10/criapln421-10
