Respondant. Mr. Daulat Khamkar Applicant Mr. A.S. Gadkari APP for State. CORAM: S. B. MHASE & R. V. MORE, JJ. DATED: 23rd OCTOBER, 2008. P.C.: 1. Heard . We have gone through the judgment and we find that the accused has participated in an offence. No case for bail on merit. The other ground, the learned counsel is trying to raise is that he has already undergone sentence for ten years and therefore he can be released on bail. The accused has been convicted for life under section 394 IPC.Therefore whether he is to be considered for lessor punishment or not is a matter to be considered at the final hearing, and not at the stage of bail. 2 Appication is rejected.
