By this application, applicant seeks bail in connection with C.R.No. 238 of 2009 registered at Pandharpur City Police Station for an alleged offence punishable u/s.420, 465, 466, 468, 471, 193, 195, 196, 197, 198, 211, 120-B r/w section 34 of the IPC. 3. Mr.Bharat Bhagwan Pawar filed a private complaint bearing Criminal Application No.640 of 2009 in the Court of J.M.F.C. 2 Pandharpur against eight persons. Applicant is the accused no.7 therein. In the complaint, complainant alleged that accused no.1 had filed a false FIR in the police station alleging that the complainant and others had assaulted him in which he suffered from grevious hurt and that the complainant had committed an offence punishable u/s.325, 504 and section 34 of the IPC. To buttress the said FIR, a false medical certificate was obtained from the accused no.8 and accused nos.1 to 7 had colluded together for obtaining the false certificate. They had thereby committed an offence of fabricating false evidence and lodging a false F.I.R. The learned Magistrate directed the police enquiry by passing an order u/s.156(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. An offence has therefore been registered against all the 8 accused. The only allegation against the applicant is that he colluded with accused nos.1 to 6 in filing a false F.I.R. against the complainant and obtaining a medical certificate from accused no.8. 4. Learned APP, on instructions of PSI Manjre states that the present applicant had colluded with the accused no.1 filing of a false F.I.R and obtaining of a false medical certificate. The accused no.8 who is alleged to have issued a false certificate has been granted pre-arrest bail by the Sessions Court. In view of this, in my view, applicant can be granted conditional pre-arrest bail. Hence I pass the following order:_ 3 O R D E R In the event applicant is arrested in C.R. No. 238 of 2009 registered at Pandharpur City Police Station, he shall be released on bail on his executing P.R. Bond of Rs.10,000/- with one surety for the like amount subject to the condition that the applicant shall attend the concerned police station for interrogation on 22nd March 2010 between 11.00 a.m and 5.00 p.m and thereafter on such other dates on which his presence may be specifically required. This order shall remain in force till the charge-sheet is filed. (D.G. KARNIK,J.)
