1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 1591 OF 2009 Sanjay S/o Shahurao Kamble, Age -26 yrs., Occu.: Labour, R/o Annabhau Sathe Nagar Kalyan Road, Dist. Thane .. Applicant Versus The State of Maharashtra, Through it's Police Station, Incharge, Kotwali Police Station, Ahmednagar (Copy to be served on the Public Prosecutor of the High Court of Judicature of Bombay Bench at Aurangabad) .. Respondent Mr. N.B. Narwade, Advocate for the applicant Mr. N.H. Borade, APP for the Respondent-State CORAM : A.V. NIRGUDE, J. DATED : 10th June, 2009 P.C.:- 1] The applicant is seeking bail in crime no. 84 of 2009 registered by Kotwali Police Station, Ahmednagar. The offences alleged against him and one more accused are punishable under section 457, 380 r/w. 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2 2] It is the case of the prosecution that the applicant and his companion committed theft by braking the wall of the complainant's jewellery shop on 5.3.2009. While the applicant and his companion were trying to run away from the spot with the loot, they were chased and caught. With their arrest, even the stolen articles were recovered from their possession. 3] The case against the applicant and his companion is quite strong, but the investigation is now over and the trial would take some time. The other similarly placed accused has been released on bail by this Court. Since the applicants are not native of District Ahmednagar, it is obvious that he and his companion had come to Ahmednagar for the purpose of committing theft. The prosecution has justifiable apprehension that if released on bail, the applicant might not come back to attend the trial. In order to alleviate this fear, following order would be just:- 4] The applicant is released on bail of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rs. One Lakh) with two sureties of 3 Rs.50,000/- (Rs. Fifty Thousand) each. The sureties shall be residents of Ahmednagar district. 5] Application disposed of. (A.V. NIRGUDE,J.) arp/10june9/cr1591.09
