CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 02/07/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The applicants are seeking anticipatory bail in C. R. No.7 of 2009 of Shahuwadi Police Station, Kolhapur.. The said crime has been registered against the applicants for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 379, 430, 504, 505, 336, 333 and 332 read with 34 of IPC. 3. The instant crime has been registered against the applicants in pursuance of the order passed by the learned T 2 JMFC under section 156(3) of Cr.P.C in a private complaint filed by the Sarpanch of village Kasarwadi. It appears that there was a dispute over the grant of water scheme between two villages and the alleged incident was a result of the dispute. I have perused the FIR and the other material placed on record and I am satisfied that custodial interrogation of the applicants is not necessary. Hence, the following order. In the event of arrest, the applicants be released on bail in the sum of Rs.2,000/- each with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the conditions incorporated in sub-section (2) of Section 438 of Cr.P.C. Further, the applicants are directed to report to the concerned police station on every alternate day between 10 and 11 am till 15.7.2009 and thereafter as and when called. 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
