Heard the learned counsel for the applicant and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is charged with the offences punishable under sections 307, 363, 329, 384, 398, 328, 323, 504 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. I have perused the charge sheet as well as the FIR. I have also perused the copy of the medical certificate annexed at Exhibit-C to the application. The medical certificate discloses 6 injuries. Injury - 2 - Nos.2 to 6 are simple injuries and the doctor has also opined that they are simple injuries. As regards the injury no.1, in fact it does not appear to be an injury but a medical condition to the effect that "unable to move right hand except fingers". For this injury, the doctor did not give any opinion but stated that investigation and opinion of neurologist was necessary. There is nothing on record to show that inability to move right hand was on account of the alleged assault by the applicant. Thus, prima facie the material on record does not disclose any grievous hurt caused to the victim. There is no history nor any allegation of sexual assault on the victim. This is the state of affairs of the material produced before the court regarding the alleged offence under sections 307 and 329 of the I.P.C. 4. The offence under all other sections are punishable with imprisonment for 10 years or less. The applicant is in custody since 26th June 2007. No affidavit in reply has been filed nor any argument is advanced alleging that the applicant would not be available for trial and that he would jump the bail in the event he is granted bail. The applicant has a permanent place of residence in Mangalvedha, District Solapur and was working as a teacher in a primary school prior to his arrest. - 3 - 5. Taking an overall view of the matter, the applicant is entitled to bail. Hence, I pass the following order:- ORDER ORDER ORDER The applicant be released on bail on his executing a personal bond of Rs.30,000/- with two sureties of the like amount in connection with the crime bearing C.R. No.97/2007 registered with the Mangalvedha Police Station, Nashik. . The application is disposed of. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
