Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's order of directions and Registrar's orders ..................................................................................................................................................................... CORAM : A.P. BHANGALE, J. DATED : 6 th September, 2010. Heard the learned APP Mrs. A.R.Taiwade, the reply filed objecting the grant of bail as also the copies of documents in respect of material collected during the course of investigation. The learned APP objected the bail on the ground that accusations are serious in nature for offence punishable u/s 302 IPC pursuant to Crime No.6/2010 reported at Khaparkheda Police Station Tq. Saoner Dist. Nagpur. The bail is also objected on the ground that there is prima facie involvement of the applicant with the offence of murder as three eye witnesses have stated before the police that they had seen the applicant assaulting deceased Durgaprasad by means of knife. Statements of four witnesses have also been recorded under section 164 Cr.P.C. Furthermore weapon of offence (i.e.knife) has been recovered pursuant to statement made by the applicant and discovery panchnama. Under these circumstances, it is likely that the applicant if convicted may be sentenced to suffer long imprisonment. The possibility of the applicant jumping off the bail on account of prospect of long sentence, 2 cannot be ruled out. For these reasons, application is rejected. However, the trial Court is directed to hear and decide the Sessions trial as early as possible. Steno copy allowed. JUDGE Sahare
