1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2607 OF 2009 Jetappa Hanmant Mangule @ Lonar .. Applicant. Vs. State of Maharashtra .. Respondents. Mr.Shekhar A.Ingawale for the applicant. Mr.K.V.Saste A.P.P. for the State. Coram: D.B. BHOSALE, J. Dated : 23rd June, 2009 P.C. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.177 of 2008 of Islampur Police Station, District Sangli. The crime has been registered against the applicant and others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 307, 341 r/w 34 of IPC and under sections 3 and 25 of the Arms Act. 3. I have perused the injury certificates of both the injured witnesses i.e. Kumar Watgaonkar and Vilas Watgaonkar. They both suffered two injuries each and all the injuries sustained by them are described as `simple’ by the Medical Officer. The 2 applicant came to be arrested on 27.11.2008. The investigation got over long back and the charge-sheet had also been filed. The trial is likely to take long time. In the circumstances, in my opinion, continued detention of the applicant is not necessary. Hence the following order: Applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.5,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on first Saturday of every month between 6 pm and 7 pm for a period of six months from the date of his release or till conclusion of the trial, whichever is earlier. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
