1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 4112 OF 2010 Shivaji Lalsing Pawar & anr. ..APPLICANTS VERSUS The State of Maharashtra ..RESPONDENT Smt. S.S. Jadhav, Advocate for the applicants; Mr N.R. Shaikh, A.P.P. for the respondent. CORAM : P.V. HARDAS, J DATE : 25th October, 2010 PER COURT : The present applicants, who are accused in Crime No.44/2010, registered by the Akhada Balapur police station, District Hingoli for offence punishable under section 302, 201 read with sec. 34 of the Indian Penal Code, seek their release on bail. 2. The applicants are said to be hired assasins who had been engaged by the wife and son of deceased Yogiraj for committing murder of deceased Yogiraj. Investigation in the said crime has been completed and a charge-sheet has been filed in the Court. 2 3. Smt. Jadhav, learned Counsel for the applicants states upon perusal of the charge-sheet that there is virtually no evidence against the present applicants which would establish the complicity of the applicants in the commission. The learned A.P.P. states that the statement of the servant had been recorded who had seen the son of deceased Yogiraj and applicant no.2 Ulhas coming towards his house while smoking a cigarette and chit-chatting in respect of certain work which was done. According to me, the aforesaid statement does not in any manner even prima facie implicate the present applicants in the commission of the crime. Additionally, I find that the wife and son of deceased Yogiraj have been enlarged on bail. In such circumstances, therefore, according to me the present applicant also deserves to be enlarged on bail. 3. Accordingly, the present application is allowed and the applicants are directed to be released on bail on each of the applicants executing a P.R. bond in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Trial Court. The applicants shall not either influence the prosecution witnesses or tamper the prosecution evidence. Application allowed accordingly. ( P.V. HARDAS, J.) amj/criap4112.10
