Mr. N.L. Choudhari, advocate for applicants. Mr. B.J. Sonawane, A.P.P. for respondent. ........ (CORAM : V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.) DATE : 19 th November, 2010. PER COURT : 1. The applications are filed by the members of two rival groups for anticipatory bail. 2. Both the applications arise out of the same incident allegedly sparked off on account of election rivalry. 3. Having heard the learned Advocates for the applicants and the learned A.P.P., and on perusal of the investigation papers, it is explicit that though the allegations are made in the F.I.Rs. about assault by means of sword and other dangerous weapons by each of groups, yet no one was seriously injured. It appears that 5 only abrasions and minor injuries were noticed. Thus, there is hardly any material to prima facie infer commission of offence under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code by the members of either group. It appears that certain allegations have been made and the counter allegations are also made by the complainants of each group with a view to aggravate the nature of offence. 4. For the reasons aforestated, the arrest of the applicants is not found necessary. Their applications are, therefore, allowed. The applicants may be released on bail by the Arresting Officer, in the event of their arrest, on furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) by each of them, with one solvent surety bond in the like sum and on condition that they shall attend the police station on each Sunday for the four consecutive Sundays w.e.f. 21st instant. The applicants in Criminal Application No. 4130 of 2010 shall, however, attend the police station between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., whereas, the applicants involved in the Criminal Application No. 4145 of 2010 shall attend the police station between 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. and shall actively participate in the course of investigation.
