Beed for the offences punishable under section 295, 427, 34 of the Indian Penal Code and under section 3 of the Explosive Substances Act. 2] It is alleged that the applicants planted explosives under the wall of a Masjid and detonated it. Due to the explosion, portion of the wall got damaged. This incident took place on 4.4.2009 at about 3:00 am. I asked the learned APP, as to whether the investigation suggests that the applicants belong to some extremist group etc? But he said he has no such information despite the fact that investigation is going on since 4.4.2009. The applicants are in custody since 4.5.2009. 3] Since the explosion did not cause extensive damage to the property and since it caused no injury (3) CR.APP. 2255.2009 to anyone, and since the applicants are not connected to any religious or extremist group, I am inclined to release them on bail. The applicants are released on bail of Rs.15,000/- (Rs. Fifteen Thousand) each with one surety each in the like amount. 4] Both the Criminal Applications stand disposed of. Sd/- (A.V.
