DATE : 08/12/2008 DATE : 08/12/2008 DATE : 08/12/2008 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard Mr.Venegavkar, learned counsel for the applicants, Mr Shinde, learned APP for the State and Mr.Runwal, learned counsel for the original complainant. 2. The applicants in both the applicants are seeking bail in C.R.No.87 of 2008 of Radhanagari police station,Dist-Kolhapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicants and others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302, 307,153, 147,148,149, 120-B,504, 506, 4 and 7 of Indian Arms Act and 37(1)(a) and 37(3) of Bombay Police Act. 3. I have perused the FIR and the statements of other eye-witnesses. The complainant has given detailed description as to how the incident occurred and what was the role played by every individual accused. All the witnesses have assigned the role to all the accused persons including the present applicants in both these applications. Looking to the statements of the witnesses, I am satisfied that there is a prima facie case against them. However, I am inclined to enlarge Sambhaji Vasant Jadhav - applicant in Application No.4144 of 2008. He was holding a stick, whereas all other accused were holding sharp edged weapons. He also allegedly assaulted the deceased. In this case, it appears that all male adult members in the family are roped in as accused. Keeping that in view and considering the role attributed to the applicant- Sambhaji Vasant Jadhav, which is comparatively lesser than other accused, I am inclined to release him on bail. Hence the following order. . The application filed by Jaysingh Vishwas Jadhav, bearing Application No.4134 of 2008, is rejected. . The application filed by Sambhaji Vasant Jadhav, bearing Application No.4144 of 2008, is allowed. He is directed to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/-, with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that he shall report to the concerned police station on every alternate Saturday between 7 and 8 pm till filing of the chargesheet. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
