Shaikh, APP for respondent. ..... CORAM: P.V. HARDAS, J. DATE: 27.10.2010 PER COURT : 1] Heard learned counsel for the parties. - 2 - 2] The applicants, who are accused in Crime No.128/2010 registered by Jalna Taluka Police Station Dist.Jalna for offence punishable u/ss.396, 397 and 398 of the Indian Penal Code seek their release on bail. 3] The applicants came to be arrested on 24.4.2010 in connection with the aforesaid offence. It appears that the investigation has been completed and a charge-sheet has been filed. 4] Shri R.V. Gore, learned counsel for the applicants, has urged before me that the only material to connect the present applicants with the said crime is the identification of the applicants in the test identification parade by some of the witnesses. It is also stated that certain things are said to have been recovered from the applicants. It is, therefore, urged before me that since the applicants have been behind the bars for practically six months, the applicants be released on bail by imposing such conditions as would ensure that the interest of the prosecution is not prejudiced. The learned APP opposes release of the applicants on bail. 5] In the light of existence of strong prima facie case i.e. identification of the applicants in the test identification parade by the witnesses, I am not inclined to grant bail to the present applicants. The applicants are alleged to have killed Balaram Ramlal Ghusinge. The post mortem report shows that there were two - 3 - chop wounds on the head. The aforesaid injuries had resulted in the fracture of the occipital bone and the cause of death is due to head injury due to depressed fracture of left side of occipital bone. 6] In the light of strong prima facie material against the present applicants, the application deserves to be dismissed. Accordingly, this application is dismissed. (P.V. Hardas, J.) ndk/cr2710108
