1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI.APPLICATION NO.973 OF 2009 Ajay Prabhakar Gharat .. Applicant Vs State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr. Rahul S Thakur, Advocate for the Applicant. Mrs. P.P.Shinde, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 07/07/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No. 101 of 2008 of Alibaug Police Station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and one another for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302 and 201 of IPC. 3. Mr Thakur, learned counsel for the applicant, after taking me through the statement of the complainant, submits that except the statement of the co-accused-Sandesh Mhatre stating that the applicant helped him in committing the murder of T 2 Deepesh, there is no other material on record to connect the applicant with the incident of murder. He further submits that insofar as the statement of the co-accused is concerned, it is not admissible in evidence and, therefore, possibility of conviction of the applicant is very bleak. Ms. Shinde, learned APP, fairly submitted that except the statement of the co-accused, there is no material against the applicant to connect him with the incident. In view thereof and having considered the submissions of the learned counsel for the applicant, I am inclined to enlarge him on bail. The applicant is directed to be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every alternate Saturday between 6 and 7 pm till conclusion of the trial. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.) 3
