(1) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, AURANGABAD BENCH, AT AURANGABAD. Criminal Application No. 2151 of 2009 Shrawan s/o. Dagadu Pawar, Age : 26 years, Occupation : Business, R/o. Devgaon, Taluka : Nevasa, Dist. Ahmednagar. .. Applicant. versus The State of Maharashtra, Through Nevasa Police Station, District : Ahmednagar. .. Respondent. .......................... Mr. S.T. Veer, Advocate, for the applicant. Mr. S.K. Kadam, Additional Public Prosecutor, for the respondent. .......................... CORAM : B.R. GAVAI, J. DATE : 24TH JULY 2009. (2) COURT'S ORDER : 1. This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is arrested in connection with Crime No. I-160/2006, registered at Police Station, Newasa (District : Ahmednagar) for offences punishable under Sections 203, 307, 504, 506, 324 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4(25) of the Arms Act. 2. This is fourth application filed by the present applicant. On earlier occasions, the applications were permitted to be withdrawn with liberty, if the trial is not concluded by a particular period. 3. Vide last order dated 19th January2009, the applicant was granted liberty to approach this court, in the event, trial is not concluded by the end of February 2009. It is not in dispute that the trial is yet to conclude. However, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor makes a statement, on instructions, that all the witnesses, except two witnesses who are carriers, have been examined. 4. It is thus clear that all other witnesses, including the witnesses from complainant's side, have already been examined and only two witnesses have remained to be examined. In that view of the matter, there is no possibility of the applicant being in a position to influence the witnesses. Taking into consideration the fact that the applicant is behind the bar for almost for a period of three years, I am inclined to allow the application. 5. Hence, the application is allowed. (3) (i) The applicant is directed to be released on bail, in connection with Crime No. I-160/2006, registered at Police Station, Newasa (District : Ahmednagar) for offences punishable under Sections 203, 307, 504, 506, 324 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4(25) of the Arms Act, on his furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- [Twenty five thousand] with one or more sureties in the like amount. (ii) The applicant shall not enter into village Devgaon till completion of trial and shall report to Police Station, Newasa, on every Sunday between 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. till completion of trial. 6. The observations made in this order are limited for the disposal of this application. The trial court shall decide the case on its own merits without being influenced by the aforesaid observations.
