Heard the learned counsel appearing for the applicants-accused and the learned A.P.P. for the respondent-State. 2. Perused application and the material available on record. 3. The applicants-accused are seeking anticipatory bail in C.R. No.32 of 2008 under Sections 143, 147, 148, 149, 354, 452, 325, 409, 323, 504, and 506 of the Indian Penal Code ( 2 ) registered with Mangalwedha Police Station, District Sholapur. 4. From the contents of the F.I.R. and the material available on record it appears that the entire cause of dispute is Applicant No.1. The allegations made against him are that accused-applicant No.1 entered into the house of the prosecutrix and caught hold her hand with bad intention. The applicant No.1 is relative of the editor of local newspaper. He is having good influence in the locality. In that view of the matter, grant of anticipatory bail at this stage of investigation in his favour would not be in the interest of investigation. Consequently, prayer on behalf of applicant No.1 for anticipatory bail is rejected. 5. Out of remaining Applicant Nos. 2 to 8 being women would be entitled for special consideration. As such, I am of the considered view that they would be entitled for anticipatory bail. So far remaining male applicants are concerned, looking to their role and allegations made against them, in the light of facts, ( 3 ) injuries suffered by the victim, they would be entitled for anticipatory bail. In the aforesaid view of the matter, Applicant Nos. 2 to 8 in the event of their arrest would be entitled for anticipatory bail on executing each P.R. bond of Rs. 25,000/- with one surety each on following terms and conditions. (a) The Applicant-Accused Nos. 2 to 6 shall attend police station once in a week i.e. on every Monday in between 10 a.m. to 12.00 noon and Applicant-accused Nos. 7 and 8 shall attend concerned Police Station as and when called by the I.O. till filing of the charge sheet. (b) The applicants Nos. 2 to 8 shall not, directly indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; ( 4 ) (c)The applicants Nos. 2 to 8 shall not pressurise witnesses and that they shall co-operate with the Investigating agency, if required. 6. This order of anticipatory bail shall remain in force till the filing of the charge sheet. It would be open for the applicants Nos. 2 to 8 to apply for regular bail before the regular Court. 7. Any observation made in this order shall not be construed as any finding or any expression of opinion on the merits of the case at the time of trial. 8. It is needless to mention that breach of any of the conditions by the applicant shall result in cancellation of bail. 9. The application is allowed in the above terms. JUDGE. JUDGE. JUDGE. ( 5 )
