1 BA-1098.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1098 OF 2011 {For Bail} Vinayak Abhimanyu Alimkar .... Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Shri Rajiv Patil i/b Ms Priyanka Thakur for the Applicant. Ms M.R. Tidke, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: SEPTEMBER 12, 2011 P.C: This is an application for bail by one Vinayak Alimkar who was not named by the first informant in the FIR. Subsequently it transpired from the statements of co-accused Pradip Nahak and witness Shyam Kate that there was some quarrel with the applicant in the past and the applicant and one Natha were present with a motorcycle around the spot when Pradip Alimkar and Pradip Nahak assaulted the victim. The learned APP opposes the application on the ground that clothes of the applicant have been seized and sent to Forensic Science Laboratory. Since according to the evidence collected by 2 BA-1098.11 the prosecution in this case, in which charge- sheet has already been filed, the applicant had not participated in the actual assault, it is not clear as to what the prosecution expects from the report of the laboratory. Considering the nature of the allegations against the applicant, the applicant's being in custody pending the trial may not be necessary. The application is allowed. The applicant be released on bail in C.R. No.I-143 of 2010 of Shil Daighar Police Station, District Thane on his furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the sum aggregating to Rs.50,000/- on the condition that the applicant shall report at the police station concerned on the first Sunday of every month between 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. till the trial is over. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
