1 Appln 4415-10 Anand IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.4415 OF 2010 Abhishek alias Ranu Kisan Singh ..Applicant V/s. The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent Mr.D.S.Manerkar, Advocate, for the Applicant Mrs.P.H.Kantharia, APP, for the Respondent - State CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATE : 16TH NOVEMBER, 2010 P.C. . This is an application by applicant arrested in connection with C.R.No.38 of 2009 for the offence punishable under Sections 302, 201 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code registered with Lonavala Police Station for an offence of murder of one Shahid Khan seeking enlargement on bail. The evidence collected against the applicant is that the applicant along with one Manisha, a juvenile offender had taken the victim to Lonavala in a vehicle which carried news papers. Manisha 2 Appln 4415-10 administered some stupefying substance to Shahid Khan and then applicant and Manisha strangulated him at Lonavala. Credit Card of Shahid Khan was used by the applicant and was found in applicant's possession. Investigation is complete and charge sheet has been filed. Other accused who had allegedly used Credit Card of Shahid Khan have been bailed out. The evidence of seizure of Credit Card from the applicant has been pointed out by the learned Counsel for the applicant to be discrepant. He submitted that as per the station diary entry of Police Station at Versova on 26th March, 2009 at 19:50 hours the custody of the applicant was handed over to the Police Station Lonavala. On the same day seizure panchanama at 17:00 hours prepared at Police Station Lonavala refers to the seizure of the articles which were handed over by Police Station Versova at 19:50 hours. There does appear to be some discrepancy & the evidence about applicant's being in possession 3 Appln 4415-10 of Credit Card would become suspicious and the prosecution may have to explain this discrepancy at the trial. 2. In view of this, it would be difficult to distinguish case of the applicant from that of others, who have been bailed out for use of Credit Card of Shahid Khan by order of this Court dated 29th June, 2009. 3.
