1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 207 OF 2009 Shri Parasharam Vaiju Bamane .... Applicant. v/s State of Maharashtra ..... Respondent. ------ Mr. Ganesh Gole for the applicant. Mr. S.R. Shinde, APP for the State. ----- CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. DATE : 17th January, 2009 P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. This is an application for anticipatory bail. Applicant has genuine apprehension that he is likely to be arrested in connection with the offences punishable under sections 143, 147, 149, 336, 337, 338, 332, 353, 427 of the Indian Penal Code and under section 135 of Bombay Police Act and under sections 3 and 7 of Damage to Public Property Act. 3. It is the case of the prosecution that there was an altercation between two persons and which later on created a situation where there was a riot between two communities. Police Officer filed F.I.R. in which names of about 41 persons were mentioned who had taken part in the said riot and 2 these 41 persons were arrested. Thereafter, remand application was filed and some other persons were also arrested. It is an admitted position that in the FIR as also in the remand application, name of the present applicant has not been mentioned. 4. Counsel for the applicant submits that, at that time the applicant was not there at the scene of offence. In any case, the FIR as also the remand application does not disclose the name of the applicant. That being the position, in my view, prima facie case is made out by the applicant for grant of anticipatory bail. 5. Applicant, therefore, in the event of his arrest in connection with C.R. No.60 of 2008registered at Ajara Police Station, District Kolhapur for the offences punishable under sections 143, 147, 149, 336, 337, 338, 332, 353, 427 of the Indian Penal Code and under section 135 of Bombay Police Act and under sections 3 and 7 of Damage to Public Property Act, shall be released on bail in the sum of Rs 5000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount.
