2309ba488.11.odt 1/2 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, APPELLATE SIDE NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR CRIMINAL APPLICATION (BA) NO. 488 OF 2011 (Gajanan s/o Mahadeo Jhadhav Vs. The State of Maharashtra) ................................................................................................................................................................................................................. Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court orders or directions Court's or Judge's Order and Registrar's orders .......................................................................................................................................................................................... Mr. P. B. Thaware, Adv. for the applicant. Mr. M. A. Kadu, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM: U. V. BAKRE, J. DATED : 23RD SEPT., 2011 Heard. The applicant, who has been arrested in Crime No.76/2010 registered at Sevagram police station for offence punishable under Sections 324 and 326 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, has filed the present application for bail. The allegation against the applicant is that on 15/4/2010, he along with three others assaulted Harshwardhan Godghate, a lawyer by profession and his brother Kapilvruksh Godghate by means of stick, fist blows and kicks. As far as the injuries sustained by the said brothers, it is mentioned by the Medical Officer, Wardha that the injury sustained by Harshwardhan seems to be grievous as it could endanger life if the impact was forceful. However, there is no certain opinion of the Medical Officer 2309ba488.11.odt 2/2 that the injuries are grievous in nature. In any case, the investigation is already complete and nothing is to be recovered at the instance of the applicant and two co-accused are already released on bail and one is stated to be absconding. Merely because there are two other cases registered against the applicant, that cannot be a ground for detaining him in custody, pending the trial. In my view, therefore, the applicant is entitle for bail. In the result, the application is allowed. The applicant shall be released on bail in Crime No. 76/2010 for offence punishable under Sections 324 and 326 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code upon execution of personal recognition bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty-five thousand only) with one solvent surety in the like amount under the condition that he shall not tamper with the prosecution witnesses.
