Court's or Judge's orders ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Shri R.M.Daga, Advocate for Applicant. Shri O.D.Kakde, A.P.P. for Respondent. CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATED : MARCH 25, 2009. 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. This is an application for anticipatory bail by Prakash Giridharisingh Thakur, who is alleged to have participated in conspiracy to murder one Sagar Shinde on account of Sagar Shinde's dispute with Guddu and Mahendra on account of ill-teasing. The allegation is that applicant Prakash went to the house of Sagar Shinde at 8.00 a.m. on 22.09.2008 and asked Sagar Shinde to take applicant's buffaloes for grazing. Sagar accordingly left with applicant's buffaloes for grazing. According to the prosecution, Sagar was sent by Prakash in order that he should be murdered by the other two accused, in the grazing ground. Therefore, the prosecution opposes plea for grant of bail by applicant Prakash. 2 3. It is not clear as to how, custodial interrogation of Prakash would yield any material information to connect Prakash to the crime. The interrogation of the persons who have already been arrested for the murderous assault on Sagar must have provided enough clues to the police. In any case, by imposing suitable conditions the object which the police may want to achieve would be secured. Therefore, the application is allowed. 4. In the event of arrest, the applicant be released on P.R. in Rs. One Lac with solvent surety in the like amount, on the condition that the applicant shall appear before the Investigating Officer on 28th March, 2009 at 10.00 a.m. and thereafter as and when required by the Investigating Officer and shall co-operate with the investigation. The applicant shall keep himself away from all the prosecution witnesses till the trial is over. JUDGE RR.
