DATED: 26th June, 2008. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: ---- ---- ---- . Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in connection with C.R.No.327 of 2006 registered with Nerul Police Station, for the offences punishable under sections 300, 302, 201 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. It is the prosecution case that the co-accused Anil Bendre had a love affair with one Ms Jaya. The deceased Sunil was also in love with Ms Jaya. On account of this, Anil Bendre gave threats of dire consequences to Sunil. It is further case of the prosecution that co-accused Anil Bendre and the present applicant along with the other accused persons committed murder of Sunil. 4. The prosecution has relied upon the statement of Ashok Sampat Wetal, the brother of the deceased, recorded on 14.9.2006, wherein the present applicant is involved. On 24.9.2006 the same Ashok Sampat Wetal has stated that he has no complaint against anybody and that he did not doubt anybody and for the death of his brother deceased Sunil. The applicant is already in custody since 16.9.2006. The trial is likely to take a long time. Investigation is complete. Charge sheet has already been filed. Some of the accused persons are also enlarged on bail. 5. In the above circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant, subject to the following conditions: (a) The applicant, arrested in connection with C.R.No. 327 of 2006 registered with Nerul Police Station, shall be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- with one or two local sureties to make up the said amount. (b) The applicant shall report to the concerned Police Station once in a week, i.e. on every Monday between 10.00 a.m. to 12.00 noon till conclusion of the trial. He shall co-operate with the investigating agency for disposal of the case. (c) The order of bail will be given effect only after the applicant furnishes to the investigating officer the details about his place of residence and address where he proposes to stay after he is enlarged on bail. The applicant will not change his residential address thereafter till the conclusion of trial without prior intimation to the investigating officer. (d) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly, make any inducement or threat or pressurise any prosecution witnesses and shall not in any manner tamper with the prosecution evidence. (e) It is needless to mention that breach of any of the conditions by the applicant shall result in cancellation of bail. (f) Any observation made in this order shall not be construed as finding or expression on merits of the case at the time of trial. 6. Application stands disposed of accordingly. JUDGE JUDGE JUDGE
