((-1-)) IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.3250 OF 2006 Jotiram Govind Dhane Applicant versus The State of Maharashtra Respondent Mr.M.S.Mohite for applicant. Mr.P.A.Pol, APP for respondent. CORAM : S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATE : 4th September 2006 PC : 1. The applicant is one of the 19 accused arrested in connection with CR No.46 of 2006 registered at Borgaon Police Station. Offences alleged are under section 307, 326, 324, 323, 147, 148 r/w 149, 504, 506, 120-B of IPC and u/s 31(1)(3) r/w 135 of Bombay Police Act. 2. The submission of Shri Mohite appearing for the applicant is that all but this accused, including the present applicant have been enlarged on bail either by the learned Sessions Judge or by this Court. He hands over a copy of my order dated 21st August 2006 in Criminal ((-2-)) Application No.3983 of 2006. 3. Shri Mohite invites my attention to page 8 of the application and sub-clauses (g), (h) and (i) thereof and contends that there is no denial of these allegations even before the Trial Court. 4. Shri Pol, learned APP in all fairness does not deny that except the applicant and another accused, others have been enlarged on bail. 5. In my view, this is a case of cross fight on account of disputes and differences pertaining to Gram Panchayat elections. Applicants are also complainants in another CR. From the applicant’s party, one Sarjerao succumbed to the injuries sustained on account of assault and attack. In such circumstances, as also on the ground of parity, the applicant deserves to be enlarged on bail in identical sum and on identical conditions as are imposed on the applicants in Criminal Application No.3983 of 2006. Hence, following order. 6. ORDER :- (i) The applicant shall be enlarged on bail in ((-3-)) connection with C.R.No.46 of 2006 registered at Borgaon Police Station, District Satara, subject to furnishing a personal bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rs.Twenty thousand only) with one or two local sureties in the like sum; (ii) The bail is granted subject to the condition that the applicant shall report to the Investigating Officer twice a week till conclusion of the trial; (iii) The applicant shall furnish his place of residence and address where he proposes to stay after he is enlarged on bail to the Investigating Officer. Furnishing of address is a condition precedent. The applicant shall not change his residential address during pendency of trial without prior intimation to the Investigating Officer; (iv) The bail is granted subject to condition that the applicant shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement or threat to any prosecution witnesses and shall not in any manner tamper with prosecution evidence. (v) The applicant shall co-operate with the Trial ((-4-)) Court for expeditious disposal of the trial. Any attempt by the applicant to delay the trial may be a ground for cancellation of bail. (vi) Any observation/s made in this order shall not be constructed as any finding or any expression of opinion on the merits of the case at the time of trial. (vii) Application is disposed of in above terms. (S.C.DHARMADHIKARI, J.)
