PC 1 This anticipatory bail application is preferred by the applicant/accused against whom the C.R.No.100 of 2011 is registered for the offences punishable under Sections 307, 353, 332, 333, 327, 342, 352, 504, 143, 447, 148 & 149 of IPC. The applicant is serving in Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation and is staying at village Gulvanch. The villagers of Gulvanch agitated the issue of land and on 15.4.2011 there was a conflict between the mob of 100 to 150 villagers and the police 2 Appln442.11.sxw personnel . As per the case of the prosecution the petitioner was in the mob and the mob attacked the police officer incharge and the police inspector got injured seriously. He was locked in the temple. Learned Advocate for the applicant submits that the applicant being a husband of Sarpanch of this village, is made scapegoat by the police and the allegations and the charges against the applicant are false and he is innocent. 2 Learned APP opposes this application. While opposing, learned APP states that the applicant was in the mob and his name is appeared in the FIR lodged by the police officer. Considering the nature of the incident and as the police officer on duty was assaulted, injured and locked, in my view, this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail. Application is rejected.
