These are two bail applications by the original Accused Nos. 6 and 8. One of the contentions raised is that other co-accused have been granted bail. 2. We have perused the order dated 2.3.2006 where Accused Nos.16,18 and 19 were granted bail. By an order dated 28th September 2006, Accused Nos.4,5,10,15,17,20,21 and 23 were also granted bail on the basis that this was a dispute arising out of significant fraction. 3. Vide order dated 12th December 2006, wherein again bail was granted to some other accused on the basis that the conviction arose out of the political factions. -:2:- 4. The fact that there was a political dispute, in our opinion can be no ground for releasing the present applicants on bail on parity of reasons. the Court must look at the evidence on record as also findings recorded by the Sessions Court while considering the bail at this stage. 5. In so far as Accused Nos.16,18 and 19 are concerned, the learned Court had considered the evidence against them and also the fact that they were senior citizens over 60 years old and had granted bail. 6. In the instant case, there is the dying declaration by the deceased to his wife in which the names of these two accused are mentioned. Apart from that Pandurang Ganpat Khaire, PW-2 has also mentioned that co-accused has been present there. These accused also did not apply for bail for the last three years. Considering the above facts, in our opinion, this would not a fit case for granting the bail. Hence, the application is rejected. (F.I. (F.I. (F.I. REBELLO, J.) REBELLO, J.) REBELLO, J.) (K.U. (K.U.
