CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE,J. DATE : 20/11/2008 DATE : 20/11/2008 DATE : 20/11/2008 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard Mr Mundargi, learned senior counsel for the applicant and Mr Shinde, learned APP, for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No.I-202 of 2008 of Taloja police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 326,341,427 read with 34 of IPC. It is the case of the prosecution that the sons of the applicant assaulted the complainant with iron rods (Pahar). I have perused the FIR. In the FIR, I do not find any allegations against the present applicant. The allegations are made against the sons of the applicant. Neither in the first part nor in the concluding part of the complaint, name of the present applicant appears as one of the assailants. The name of the applicant is appearing only in the middle portion of the FIR, wherein, in my prima facie opinion, the conjunctive in Marathi "Va" (and) is wrongly put. In other words, the use of conjunctive "Va" (and) seems to have been wrongly used, and it is not consistent with the remaining portion of the FIR. In the circumstances,I am inclined to grant this application for anticipatory bail.Hence, the following order. 3. In the event of arrest, the applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that he shall report to the concerned police station as and when called. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
