1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. Criminal Application No. 1345 of 2009 Afjal Khan and Firoz Khan v. State of Maharashtra -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr R.K.Tiwari, Adv for applicants Mr D.P. Thakare, APP for State. Coram : A.P. Bhangale, J Dated : 30th July 2009 1. Applicants are seeking bail in Crime No. 281/08 registered with Police Station, Sakkardara, Nagpur under Sections 143, 147, 148, 149, 307, 395 and 109 of the Indian Penal Code read with Sections 4 and 25 of the Arms Act. 2. Heard learned counsel for the parties. Learned counsel for the applicants contends that since co-accused have been released on bail by the Sessions Court, applicants deserve to be released on bail on the ground of parity. Learned APP opposes submission on the ground that there is criminal history attached to the applicants and they cannot be released on bail on the ground of parity. 2 3. It is evident from the papers produced before me by learned Addl. Public Prosecutor that applicant is involved in 19 crimes and he has been convicted by the Court in one of the crimes while applicant no.2 is involved in 8 crimes and he has been convicted by the Court in two crimes. Moreover, prevention action has also been taken against the applicants. It is obvious that while on bail earlier, applicants jumped the bail and committed crime. Applicants, therefore, cannot be enlarged on bail on the ground of parity. No other ground is pressed into service. Application stands rejected. Judge. Hsj
