1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.785 OF 2010 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO.194 OF 2010 Sanjay @ Chhota Munna Thakur ... Applicant. V/s The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent. Mr. Aniket Vagal for the applicant. Mr. A.S. Shitole, APP for the State. CORAM: V. M. KANADE, J. DATE : 6th July, 2010 P.C.:- 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. Applicant is convicted for an offence punishable under section 120-B read with section 307 of the Indian Penal Code and sentenced to suffer rigorous imprisonment for 7 years. 3. It is submitted that the only material on record against the applicant, as alleged, is that he was sitting next to the person who actually fired shot from his revolver. He submitted that the applicant has already undergone 5 years and 4 months of actual sentence out of 7 years awarded by 2 the Sessions Court. 4. In my view, submission made by the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the applicant cannot be accepted taking into consideration the role attributed to the applicant by the prosecution witnesses. The applicant has been identified by the rickshaw driver who was standing at the place where the incident took place. Hence, the application for bail is rejected. Criminal Appeal, however, is placed for final hearing in the week commencing from 12th July, 2010. 5. Application is disposed of. (V.M. KANADE, J.) 3
