CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATED : 22nd July, 2008. DATED : 22nd July, 2008. DATED : 22nd July, 2008. P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Advocate for the Applicant and the learned APP for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.112 of 2007 of Chandwad Police Station. The said case is under Section 302 of IPC. 3. The investigation in the present case is over and the charge-sheet has been filed. The incident has occurred on 15.9.2003. The only material against the applicant is the statement of one eye witness i.e. Narayan. It is seen that ..(2).. the statement of eye witness is recorded on 27.11.2007 i.e. four years after the incident took place. Besides this, there is no material against the applicant. Looking to the belated statement of the eye witness, I find much merit in the submission that the applicant has been falsely implicated as an afterthought. In this view of the matter, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant. 4. The applicant - Nana Dinkar Nirbhavne to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount. The applicant shall report to Chandwad Police Station once in a fortnight, till conclusion of the trial. 5. Criminal Application is disposed of accordingly. (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.)
