Balasaheb (Rameshwar) Popatrao Jadhav .. Applicants V/s State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr.M.S. Karnik for the applicants. Mr.D.P. Adsule, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATE : 18TH JANUARY 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. : 1. Heard the learned counsel for the applicants and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicants seek anticipatory bail under section 438 of the Cr.P.C. in respect of offence registered with Niphad Police Station under C.R. No.105/2007 punishable under sections 324, 323, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. - 2 - 3. By an order dated 2nd November 2007, this Court (Coram: V.C. Daga, J.) granted interim bail to the applicants. Since then, no untoward incident has been reported nor is there any allegation of the breach of the concession proposed in the interim order. 4. Learned counsel for the applicants submitted that the group of the complainant has assaulted the applicants and a complaint to that effect has been filed by the applicants against the complainant. It thus appears that there are cross complaints by two rival groups. 5. Learned A.P.P. produced for my inspection a xerox copies of the injury certificates suffered by the members of the complainant group. The copies are returned after inspection. On perusal of the injury certificates, it seems that all injuries are simple injuries and the doctor has so opined. Learned A.P.P. confirms that all injuries are simple. 6. Taking into consideration that all injuries are simple injuries and cross complaints have been filed by the two groups and the fact that the applicants have not abused the interim protection granted by this court vide order dated 2nd November 2007, the applicants are entitled to anticipatory bail. Hence, I pass the - 3 - following order:- ORDER ORDER ORDER In the event of the arrest of the applicants or any of them in connection with the offence mentioned above, each of the applicants shall be released on bail on executing personal bond of Rs.30,000/- together with two sureties of Rs.15,000/- each subject to the following conditions:- (a) The applicants shall cooperate with the investigation and attend the police station as and when summoned by the police. (b) The applicants shall not make any inducement nor give any threats to any of the prosecution witnesses and shall not in any manner tamper with the prosecution evidence. (c) This order shall come to an end on the charge sheet being filed whereupon the applicants shall be entitled to apply for regular bail before the regular court. If such application is made, it shall be considered on its own merits without being influenced by any of the observations made in this order. - 4 - (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
