The State of Maharashtra )..Respondent ---- Mr. Shivraj R. Patil for the applicant. Mrs. M. H. Mhatre APP for the State. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 29th March, 2010 PC 1 This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.I-97/2009 registered by the Rabodi police station for alleged offences under Sections 302, 143, 147, 148, 149 and 109 of the IPC. The deceased was one Salim Shaikh and the post mortem notes indicates that he has been brutally murdered by sharp weapons. In so far as present applicant is concerned, out of the 2 eye witnesses i.e. complainant- Mumtaz- and one Salma, he is only mentioned as being present by Mumtaz. Salma has not named him at all and there is no identification parade. Both these statements do not indicate any overtact against the applicant. Though he was arrested on 1.7.2009, there is no recovery of any weapons from him though weapons have been recovered from several other accused. There is no antecedent against the present applicant. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail to the present applicant. It is therefore, directed that pending his 2 trial in connection with C.R.No.I-97/2009 registered by the Rabodi police station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the Investigating officer once a fortnight on every 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month between 11.00 A.M and 2.00 P.M and will remain present on all the dates of his trial unless exempted.
