P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. This is an application for grant of bail. The accused is shown as an accused along with other accused in C.R.No.5/2006 registered by Panchavati Police Station for alleged offences under Section-302, 143, 147, 148, 149 of the I.P.C. and under Section 135 of the Bombay Police Act. On perusal of the F.I.R., it indicates that there are two incidents alleged. In the first incident deceased Fatehsingh Rajput is said to have been assaulted by the main accused Rakesh Koshti and 10 to 12 of his followers. The complainant Vilas is an eye witness. He saw the said incident and ran away. He then met to Balu Bhoir who is friend of the deceased, who brought him back and at that time he saw Rakesh Koshti giving several knife blows to the deceased. Regarding the second incident, there is no mention of any stick blows given by the other persons. It appears :2: that there are 19 wounds of which 18 are stab wounds and one is contusion and abrasion. The prosecution case is that the revenge was taken by Rakesh Koshti who had been beaten by deceased Fatehsingh Rajput earlier. Taking into account the fact that there is only one abrasion though there are 18 incised stab wounds as also the fact that the witnesses do not mention any particular role to this applicant of the second incident, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant. . It is therefore, directed that pending his trial in pursuance of C.R.No.5/2006 registered by Panchavati Police Station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he should report to the Investigating Officer, Panchavati Police Station on every Monday between 11.00 to 5.00 p.m. till the disposal of the trial. 2.
