1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 4380 OF 2009 Babu s/o Shankar Bhalerao and others ...Applicants Versus The State of Maharashtra ...Respondent ..... Mr. N.N. Shinde, advocate for the applicant Mr. N.H. Borade, A.P.P. for respondent. ..... CORAM: S.S. SHINDE, J. (VACATION COURT) DATED: 24TH DECEMBER, 2009 PER COURT:- 1 This application is for regular bail in connection with crime No. 61 of 2009, registered with Hatta police station, for the offences punishable under Sections 395, 323, 504, 506 of I.P.C. The applicants had filed application for regular bail before the Adhoc Additional Sessions Judge, Basmatnagar, which came to be rejected on 27.11.2009. Hence, this application. 2 This Court, by order dated 18.12.2009, issued notice to the respondent and in pursuance to the said notice, learned A.P.P. has 2 received police papers. I have heard Shri Shinde, leaned counsel appearing for the applicants and learned A.P.P. for the respondent. I have also perused the F.I.R. and other documents annexed with the application. On perusal of the papers, it appears that the applicant No. 2 is history sheeter, as observed by the Sessions Court in its order. Therefore, for the time being, the application in so far as the applicant No.2 is concerned is rejected with liberty to the applicant No.2 to apply for bail after charge sheet is filed. 3 In so far as applicant Nos 1 and 3 to 7 are concerned, the investigation is almost complete. It appears that the crime is registered against these applicants due to rivalry between two groups in the said village. There is complaint filed by the other group and also cross complaint is filed against those persons. Since the investigation is almost complete, there is no reason for keeping these applicants behind the bar. 4 In the result, the applicant Nos. 1 and 3 to 7 are released on bail on their furnishing bail bond of Rs.15,000/- each with one surety in the like amount for each of the applicants. The applicants, after release, shall not enter within the jurisdiction of Hatta police station till the charge sheet is filed. They shall not tamper with the prosecution witnesses and evidence. They shall attend the Basmatnagar police station once in a week i.e. on every Sunday between 11.00 a.m. To 3 2.00 p.m. till the charge sheet is filed. 4 Application is partly allowed and disposed of with the above observations.
