Mr.S.S.Tatkare, APP for the State. Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 29.6.2006. PC 1. This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant alongwith 7 other persons are shown as accused in C.R.No.55/2006 registered by the Kothrud police station for alleged offences under Sections 302, 143, 147, 148, 149 & 324 of IPC. It appears that the deceased Balasaheb Kasbe was assaulted by six accused who were all named in the FIR. Admittedly, the present applicant was not one of the assailants and was not member of : 2 : the unlawful assembly. The statement indicates that the six persons who have assaulted the deceased have independent motive as the deceased has assaulted one Chandrakant who was the brother of accused Nana Kudale. The deceased has also given shelter to one Santosh and accused persons were upset for this reason. While they were looking out for the deceased they asked the present applicant to let them know about the whereabouts of Balasaheb Kasbe. It is the police case that present applicant has informed them by making a call on his mobile. Though it is the case of the prosecution that brother of the present applicant has been killed by the deceased in the year 2001, it does not appear to be prosecution case that the present applicant has joined in the assault or had conspiracy to take revenge. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail to the present : 3 : applicant. It is therefore, directed that pending his trial in connection with C.R.No.55/2006 registered by the Kothrud police station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he will report to the investigating officer of Kothrud police station once a month on every first Monday of the month till the conclusion of the trial and subject to the further condition that he will not enter the jurisdiction of Kothrud police station except for the purpose of attendance to the police station. Application stands disposed of. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
