IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3706 OF 2009 Satish Sekhar Page ..... ..... ...Applicant V/s The State of Maharashtra ..... ..... ...Respondent. Mr.P.B.Shah, Adv. for the applicant. Mr.H.J.Dedhia, APP for the Respondent. CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 21st August, 2009. PC: Apprehending arrest in connection with CR No.146/09 registered with Manikpur police station, Taluka Vasai, District Thane for the offence punishable under sections 143, 147, 148, 149, 308 and 504 of IPC the applicant has filed the present application claiming anticipatory bail. Perusal of the FIR reveals that one Adil Shaikh who was playing pool game was mercilessly beaten by the co-accused with base ball bat, iron pipe and iron rod. When the first informant tried to save the victim from the merciless assault he was caught hold by the present applicant. The applicant had prevented others from rescuing the victim from the assault and was shouting, abusing and threatening others not to intervene. There are eye witnesses to the incident who have categorically named the present applicant and the role played by him. Learned APP places on record FIR registered against the present applicant prior to the occurrence of incident in the present application in the month of February, 2009 whereby a crime was registered against the present applicant under sections 324, 325, 504 read with section 34 of IPC. While the applicant came to be released on bail he has committed the present offence. Having regard to the totality of facts and circumstances 1 and on perusal of the medical certificate which clearly shows that the victim had suffered grievous hurt, I am not inclined to release the applicant by granting anticipatory bail. Hence application stands rejected. 21.8.2009. 2
