This is an application for bail by the four persons, who have been arrested and chargesheeted in connection with C.R.No.122 of 2011 for the offence punishable under Section 364 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code registered with Manmad City Police Station, Manmad, Tal.Nandgaon, Dist.Nashik and 2 BA 1612-2011 who had abducted one Santosh Nimba Khairnar on the night of 21st July, 2011 from a temple. The allegation was that said Santosh had gone to Manmad in the evening of 21st July, 2011, consumed liquor, met one Anand Pardeshi, who has been admitted to bail. Again he consumed liquor with Anand Pardeshi and then slept in a temple near the house of Anand Pardeshi. The applicants and Anand Pardeshi are alleged to have beaten up the first informant on the allegation that the first informant had stolen a sum of Rs.32,000/- from the house of Dinesh Tandale. They beat him up, tied his hands & legs, placed him in an Auto Rickshaw and were proceeding, when policemen intercepted the Rickshaw, released the first informant, caused a report to be made by the first informant and arrested the applicants. Investigation is complete and charge sheet has been filed. The first informant had as many as nine injuries abrasions and contusions of which are simple in nature. The learned Counsel for the 3 BA 1612-2011 applicants submits that it does not stand to reason the applicants would abduct the first informant for committing his murder. At worst all that they would want is that recovery of their money. The learned APP states that there is no reason for the policemen to falsely state that the applicants were found to be carrying the victim whose hands and legs were tied. Even so as investigation is complete and charge sheet has been filed, considering the nature of allegations made as well as nature of the evidence collected, applicants' being at large may not prejudice a fair trial. Applicants be released on bail on their furnishing P.R.Bond of Rs.50,000/- each with one or more solvent sureties in the aggregate sum of Rs.50,000/- till the trial is over. 3. Criminal Application stands disposed of. (R.C.CHAVAN, J.) 4 BA 1612-2011
