1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1903 OF 2010 Sachin @ Nana Digambar Gund )..Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra )..Respondent ---- Mr. Jaydeep D. Mane for the applicant. Mr. Y. S. Shinde APP for the State. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 7th May, 2010 PC 1 This is an application for grant of regular bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.93 of 2010 registered by the Mohol police station for alleged offences under Sections 363, 366(A), 376 read with 34 of IPC. In so far as present applicant is concerned, he has no role to play in so far as section 376 is concerned. The case against him is that on 7.3.2010 he and the main accused Mohan Gund went on a motor cycle up to Pandharpur. It is seen from the record that father of the girl lodged FIR on 12.3.2010. His daughter was found to be residing along with the main accused Mohan Gund at village Vichunde. The record indicates that Mohan and Priyanka informed the landlord that they were husband and wife. This is to be found on the statement of the girl herself. The record indicates that they were staying in the said room about a fortnight till the police and her relatives arrived. Though in her statement she has talked about being forcibly kidnapped, she has stated at the end of the statement that the statement has been given in the presence of father and other relatives. Occipital test does not indicate that her age has been determined. The 2 birth certificate indicates that she was over 16 years old. Taking into account these facts, I am inclined to grant bail. It is therefore directed that pending his trial in connection with C.R.No.93 of 2010 registered by the Mohol police station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he reports to the Investigating officer once a week on every month till the filing of the charge-sheet and thereafter once a fortnight on every 1st and 3rd Mondays of each month till the disposal of the trial and does not tamper with the witnesses and remain present on all dates of his trial unless exempted. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 3
