1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 5545 OF 2009 Pooran Rajnarayan Mishra ...... Applicant. V/s The State of Maharashtra ...... Respondent. Mr Naveen Chomal for the applicant. Mr. H.J. Dedhia, APP for the State. CORAM: V. M. KANADE, J. DATE : 14TH DECEMBER, 2009 P.C.:- 1. Heard the learned Counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. Applicant apprehends arrest in connection with the offence punishable under section 302 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code which is registered with Dombivali Police Station vide C.R. No. 334 of 2009. 3. One Rajappa Shetty was murdered by two persons. During the course of investigation, statements of some of the witnesses have been recorded which clearly reveals involvement of the present applicant. The offence is under section 302 and, in my view, in view of the material which is has now been shown to me, this is not a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. 2 4. Application for anticipatory bail is, therefore, rejected. Trial Court shall not be influenced by any observation made by this Court while rejecting this application for anticipatory bail as these observations are, essentially, prima facie in nature. Trial Court shall decide the criminal case on its own merits and in accordance with law. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
