Mr.K.V.Saste APP for the State. Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 31.7.2006. PC 1. This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.13/2006 registered by the Laxmipuri police station for alleged offences under Sections 302, 394 r/w 34 of IPC. The incident in question took place on 6.11.2004. The applicant alongwith 3 other persons were arrested on 17.1.2006. The material against the present applicant appears to be one statement of the co-accused by : 2 : name Makarand. It is also alleged that 2 gold bangels were sold by the present applicant to one jeweller by name Mahesh Dhamanskar. However, it is seen that the statement is vague and does not give particulars of the ornaments. There is no recovery from the present applicant and no other witness identified him in or around the place of the incident. The cause of death is shown as auspecia due to hanging, wherein the story of the co-accused relating to strangulation. In my view, this is a matter in which bail can be granted by putting stringent conditions. It is therefore, directed that pending his trial in pursuance of C.R.No.13/2006 registered by the Laxmipuri 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 Laxmipuri police : 3 : station once a fortnight on every 1st and 3rd Mondays till the disposal of the trial. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
