1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. Criminal Application No. 3185 of 2009 Raghunath and ors v. State of Maharashtra -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr A. Sambre, Adv for applicant Mr D.P. Thakare, APP for State Coram : A.P. Bhangale, J Dated : 22nd September 2009 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. Applicants are seeking bail in Crime No. 75/09 registered with Police Station, Andhara under Sections 307, 143, 148, 149 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. Learned counsel for applicants contends that complainant on his own did not lodge report, but he got himself admitted in Primary Health Centre and in his dying declaration, he implicated applicants. Learned counsel for applicants further contends that complainant is a habitual offender. Learned APP, on the other hand, opposed bail application. 3. At the first place, it is observed that if at all complainant is a habitual offender and that he is dealing in 2 illegal trade of liquor, applicants have not been vested with any right to punish him and take the law in their hands. Complainant has specifically named the applicants having poured kerosene on his person and set him on fire. Custodial interrogation of the applicants would, therefore, be necessary. Contention of learned counsel for applicants that ingredients of Section 307 IPC are not at all attracted since complainant received burns to the extent of 9 per cent only, may help him on merit of the trial. Application is rejected. Judge. Hsj
