1 ABA-400.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.400 OF 2011 {For Anticipatory Bail} Tushar Suresh Ghule & Anr. .... Applicants Vs. State of Maharashtra & Anr. .... Respondents Ms P.P. Kakade i/b Subhash Hulyalkar for the Applicants. Ms G.P. Mulekar, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: MAY 02, 2011 P.C: 1. This is an application for anticipatory bail by two brothers who are alleged to have participated in the assault on the first informant by means of a stone and a stick. The other co-accused had assaulted the first informant with sickles, gupti and other articles. Though the injury certificates are not on the record, the record does not show that any serious injuries were caused to the victim. The victim himself was an externee. The investigation is complete and the charge-sheet has been filed against the co-accused. The applicants have been shown as absconders. The 2 ABA-400.11 learned counsel for the applicants states that one of the applicants, in fact, is a student and were not absconding. Considering this, though the learned APP has a strong objection, it is not clear as to what useful purpose would be served by subjecting the applicants to custodial interrogation. In view of this, the application is allowed. In the event of the applicants' arrest in C.R. No.101 of 2010 of Bhosari Police Station, Pune, the applicants be released on bail on their furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each with one or more solvent sureties in the sum aggregating to Rs.25,000/- per person on the condition that the applicants shall report at the police station concerned on 9-5-2011 at 11:00 a.m. for interrogation and thereafter as and when required by the I.O.. The applicants shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him/her from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer and they shall not leave the country without the prior permission of the trial Court. 2. This order shall remain in force till the trial is over with the only stipulation 3 ABA-400.11 that if charge-sheeted, the applicants may furnish fresh bond before the trial Court in view of the Judgment of the Supreme Court, dated 2-12-2010, delivered in Criminal Appeal No.2271 of 2010, arising out of SLP (Cri.) No. 7615 of 2009 {Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre v. State of Maharashtra & Ors.}. 3. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
