1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI.APPLICATION NO.2399 OF 2009 Guddu @ Shravan Kisan Maurya .. Applicant Vs State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr.H.E.Palwe, Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. S.S.Pednekar, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 08/07/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No. I-2 of 2009 of Bhadrakali Police Station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and one another for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 363, 366(A) red with 34 of IPC. 3. I perused the complaint. The only allegation against the present applicant is that he helped his brother Ajay Maurya, the co-accused, and the victim girl-samina to elope. The whereabouts of the co-accused and Samina are not known till this date. In view thereof, Mr Palwe, learned counsel for the T 2 applicant, submitted that merely because the applicant and the co-accused were staying together, the applicant cannot be stated to have played any role in the commission of offence. Having considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the applicant and that the investigation is almost complete insofar as the present applicant is concerned, in my opinion, continued detention of the applicant is not necessary. Hence the following order. The applicant is directed to be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.5,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every Satuday between 6 and 7 pm for a period of six months. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.) 3
