Morshi, Amravati Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, Appearances, Courts orders or directions Court’s or Judge’s orders and Registrar’s orders. Mr. P. V. Navlani, Advocate for the Applicant Mr. S. S. Doifode, A.P.P. for the Non-Applicant CORAM : U.V. BAKRE, J. DATED : 19.10.2011. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The applicant, who has been arrested on 25/08/2011 in Crime No. 131/2011 for offence punishable under Sections 147,148, 149, 353, 333, 307 of the Indian penal Code and Section 4 read with Section 25 of the Arms Act registered at Police Station Morshi, has filed the present application for bail. 3. The allegation against the applicant and others is that on 25/08/2011, at about 1.35 a.m. the applicant and 9 or 10 others assaulted the police staff with sticks, iron pipes and swords and caused injuries to them. 4. The Misc. Criminal Application No. 809/2011 of the present applicant before the learned Additional Sessions Judge-3, 2 Amravati, was rejected because, the said Mustafin, in whose search the police staff had gone to the house of the accused persons, was not found and the said police staff members themselves were mercilessly assaulted and because the present applicant is a Court convict for offence under Sections 147, 148, 149, 307, 353 and 332 of the Indian Penal Code which shows his conduct. In the reply, the respondent has listed 10 cases which were registered against the present applicant. No doubt they are old cases, however, one of them is registered in the year 2005. 5. It is submitted by the respondent that the charge-sheet is not yet filed and investigation is not completed. Possibility of the applicant tampering with prosecution witnesses cannot be ruled out. Therefore, in my view the applicant is not entitled for bail at this stage. Hence, application is rejected. JUDGE Punde.
