Sharma for the applicants. Mr. Y.S. Shinde, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATE : 14TH JANUARY 2010 P.C. : 1. Heard. 2. By this application, the applicants seek pre-arrest bail in connection with C.R. No.624 of 2009 registered at MIDC Police Station, Mumbai for an offence punishable under sections 326, 506 read with 34 of the I.P.C. 3. The informant is manager of M/s Tripthi Rent A-Car (for short “the company”). The 2 company had engaged M/s Trig Guardforce Ltd. (for short “Trig”) to provide drivers as contract labours. Trig provided 37 drivers, some of them had grievance against the company and its manager. In the FIR, the applicants have been named as the drivers who had been threatening to damage the property of the company. On 18th December 2009, six drivers assaulted the first informant (manager) with sali (rod). The first informant suffered grievous injuries. The applicants are three out of the six drivers. 4. Learned counsel for the applicants submitted that no specific act has been attributed to the applicants. He submitted that even the presence of the applicants is doubted. 5. I have perused the First Information Report. The applicants have been specifically named in the F.I.R. They were acting in collusion and alleged to have common 3 intention. The applicants are needed for custodial investigation. In my view, the learned Sessions Judge has rightly rejected the application for anticipatory bail. 6. The application is rejected. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
