State of Maharashtra, Thru' Lonikand Police Station ... Respondent Mr. A.P. Mundargi, Sr. Counsel, i/b. Mr. D.D. Shinde, for the Applicant. Mr. K.V. Saste, APP, for the Respondent. Mr. M.K. Kocharekar for the First Informant. CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 28 TH JUNE, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard. 2. I have gone through the F.I.R. and the statement of the injured, which are forming part of the Charge Sheet, copy of which has been annexed to the Bail Application. I find that there exists strong prima facie case against the Applicant. It also appears that three bullets had actually entered the body of the injured. The offence has been committed in broad day light and some what openly. 3. Under these circumstances, I am not inclined to release the Applicant on bail. BA-570-11.sxw 2 Dixit 4. Mr. Mundargi, the learned Counsel for the Applicant, submits that the cause behind the assault was the marriage between the injured and the daughter of the Applicant, which was at that time not approved by the Applicant. It is submitted that the Applicant's family has, thereafter, accepted the marriage. This fact is confirmed by Mr. Kocharekar, the learned Advocate for the First Informant. Even accepting this, I do not think it fit to release the Applicant on bail. All that can be done, in the circumstances, is to direct the trial to be expedited. 5. The Application for bail is rejected. 6. However, the trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and endeavour to complete it within a period of three months from the date of receipt of this order. [A.M. THIPSAY, J.]
