{1} IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 2100 OF 2010 Ravindra s/o Appasaheb Shete and others APPLICANTS VERSUS The State of Maharashtra & Another RESPONDENTS ....... Mr.V.D.Sapkal, Advocate for the applicants Mr.P.P.More, APP for respondent State ....... [CORAM : A.V.POTDAR, J.] DATE: 24th June 2010 PER COURT: 1. By the present application, the applicants have prayed to release them on anticipatory bail in the event of their arrest in connection with CR No.163/2010 registered with Kopargaon police station for an offence punishable u/s 307, 324, 323, 504, 506, 143, 147 and 148 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicants followed by learned APP. Perused the papers of investigation. 3. It appears that the said offence is registered on the {2} complaint of one Deeapk in respect of an incident which has occurred on 30th April 2010 at about 7.30 to 8.00 p.m. It is alleged in the complaint that on hearing commotion, when the complainant reached at the spot, he saw that one of his relative, Ajit was found lying on the ground in injured condition and that he had sustained bleeding injuries. As per the allegations in the complaint, on inquiry said Ajit had disclosed names of applicants No.1 and 2 and others. It is further alleged that when the complainant was removing Ajit to hospital some unknown persons pelted stones at them. 4. During the course of investigation, statement of said Ajit was recorded and he was also examined in a hospital on 30.04.2010 at 10.00 p.m. itself and three injuries were found on his person, which can be sustained by a sharp cutting instrument. Undoubtedly, statement of Ajit was recorded on 4th May, 2010, which discloses names of present applicants as assailants. 5. Learned counsel for applicants tried to urge that there is cross complaint filed at the instance of present applicants. The compliant at CR No.164/2010 indicates that though the same is lodged in respect of same incident, yet the same does not disclose name of injured Ajit. Apart from it, in respect of the said incident offence is registered against the applicants for an offence punishable u/s 143, 148 r/w 323 of the Indian Penal Code. It is clear that the CR No.163/2010 is registered earlier in time. In the {3} premise, though vehemently urged that false implication of the applicants cannot be ruled out, yet this Court is not in agreement with the same. Considering the nature of injuries sustained by injured Ajit and the promptitude in registering the offence , there cannot be said to be false implication of the applicants. In the result, the application is devoid of merit and stands rejected accordingly. [A.V.POTDAR, J.] drp/B10/criapln2100-10
