1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR Criminal Application (BA) No. 427 of 2011 (Rahul S/o. Soma Pendam Vs. State of Maharashtra) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Appearances, Courts orders or directions Court’s or Judge’s orders and Registrar’s orders. Mr. F.T. Mirza, Advocate for the applicant. Mr. D.B. Patel, A.P.P. for the State/respondent. CORAM : M. N. GILANI, J. DATE : 10 th AUGUST, 2011. Heard. The applicant has been arrayed as an accused in Crime No. 45/2011, registered with Police Station, Aasti, District Wardha, for the offence punishable under Sections 307, 427, 333, 353 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 132 read with Section 177 of the Motor Vehicles Act. One Amol Shinde, Police Constable, attached to Police Station Aasti, lodged F.I.R. on 07/06/2011 that one car Innova bearing no. MH-24/P/5151, dashed against Indica car bearing no. MH-01/Y/8589. It is alleged that despite signaled by the Police, the vehicle did not stop and ultimately dashed against the Indica car, driving by Police Constable Bandu Dadmal. In the Innova car, no liquor was found. Secondly, Innova car was driven by one Pravin and 2 not by the present applicant. That being so, nothing can be attributed to the present applicant. Neither he is responsible for the rash and negligent driving nor for causing injuries to the Police Constable Bandu Dalmal. Merely, he was travelling in the Innova car. It seems that the learned Additional Sessions Judge was swayed with the general allegations made by the investigating agency without examining as to what material exists against the present applicant. The application is allowed. The applicant is directed to be released on his executing P. R. Bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with one surety in the like amount Hamdast granted.
