1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT NAGPUR CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 2649 /2009 ( Sagar Ashok Hiranwar vs. State of Maharashtra ) Office Notes, Office Memorandum of Coram appearances, Court's orders of directions & Registrar's orders. Court's or Judges Order Mr V W Meshram, Adv. for applicant Mr. D P Thakare APP for Respondent-State C ORAM : A.P. BHANGALE, J. DATED : 10 th September, 2009. 1. Heard counsel for respective parties. 2. The applicant prays for grant of bail in respect of Crime No. 3/2009 reported on 4.1.2009 for offence punsihable under sections 147, 148, 149, 307 and 302 of the Indian Penal Code, read with section 4, 25 of the Arms Act. The complaint was lodged by Akhilesh Indramani Mishra. In the FIR itself, the name of the applicant is mentioned as one of the assailants. It appears that the multiple injuries - 36 in number, were observed in the viscera of deceased Rakesh Katariya, who died due to haemorrhage and shock as a result of multiple injuries sustained on scalp, face and upper limbs. The statements of certain eye witnesses have also been recorded, attributing active role to the applicant and his associates - Golu etc. who were seen assaulting Ramkesh Katariya in Law College square, Nagpur. The statement of the injured witness in the nature of dying declaration was also recorded in the course of investigation. Thus, there appears prima facie involvement of the applicant in the serious offence, as alleged. Considering the seriousness and nature of the accusations as well as prospects of long sentence of death or imprisonment for life, in such case, as also the possibility of the applicant tampering with the evidence or absconding, I am not inclined to grant bail. 3. The Application stands rejected. However it is expected that the 2 Trial Court shall hear and decide the sessions case as expeditiously as possible. JUDGE. sahare
