Sapkal, Advocate for the Applicant Mr. N.H. Borade, APP for the respondent-State ... CORAM : V.R. KINGAONKAR, J. DATED : 19TH OCTOBER, 2010 ORAL ORDER:- 1. The Application is for anticipatory bail. 2. Heard learned Advocate for the applicants and learned APP. 3. Perusal of the FIR and investigation papers, prima facie shows that on 7.9.2010 at about 10.00 am., there was a quarrel between driver of a tempo truck vehicle owned by Dhanraj Chavan and brother of the informant i.e. Premsingh. It is alleged that the driver was given a word of advice to take the vehicle ahead but said Dhanraj Chavan i.e. applicant no.3 alongwith the other applicants came there. They assaulted injured Premsingh by means of fists and kick blows. They also gave blows of stick on his person. 4. There appears no particular role attributed to either of the accused, while giving the FIR. (3) CRI.APP. 3957.2010 Though it is alleged that serious injuries were sustained by injured Premsingh and other witnesses, yet the medico legal certificates do not prima facie subscribe to such allegation. It appears that Uttam Chavan received contused lacerated wound on frontal region. Pandurang Chavan also received one injury on the forehead. There is no injury certificate of Premsingh Chavan. There is also counter complaint against the informant and others. 5. What appears prima facie is that there was a quarrel between two groups on account of parking of a vehicle in front of the house of the informant's brother i.e. Premsingh Chavan. It appears that there was a free fight between the two groups. Considering the fact that no particular role is attributed to the applicants and that in the course of free fight, two injured persons might have received the injuries, the arrest of the applicants may not be necessary for effective investigation as such. It would suffice, if their presence is secured for the purpose of investigation by giving appropriate directions. (4) CRI.APP. 3957.2010 6. In the result, the Application is allowed. The applicants are directed to be released on bail, in the event of their arrest, on furnishing of bail bonds in sum of Rs.15,000/-each (Rs.Fifteen Thousand) before the Arresting Officer and on condition that they shall attend the concerned Police Station on each Tuesday and Saturday between 10.00 am. to 2.00 pm. and shall co-operate with the Investigating Officer.
