1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 4246 OF 2010 Umesh S/o Ramesh Kore Age : 22 years, Occ : Labour, R/o Kallamb, Tq. Kallamb, Dist. Osmanabad ..APPLICANT -VERSUS- The State of Maharashtra ..RESPONDENT ......... Mrs. S.S. Jadhav, Advocate for applicant. Mr. P.P. More, A.P.P. for respondent. ........ (CORAM : V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.) DATE : 24 th November, 2010. PER COURT : 1. The application is for bail. 2. Heard learned Advocate for the applicant and the learned A.P.P., and perused the investigation papers. 3. What prima facie emerges from the record is that the prosecutrix willingly eloped with the applicant in the relevant noon. They travelled together from Ausa to Latur and thereafter went to Pune by travelling in a Train. The F.I.R. itself shows that the applicant took the prosecutrix to Alandi after five to six months for the purpose of marrying her but marriage could not be performed 2 because of her minority. It appears that after she became pregnant, and when she realised that the applicant was addicted to liquor drinking, the love affairs melted out. Considering the nature of the accusations, further detention of the applicant is not required since the charge sheet is already filed and the trial is likely to commence. The bail application of the applicant is rejected by the Court of Sessions only for the reason that he was likely to pressurize the witness. In fact, there is hardly any evidence that he was making any attempt to pressurize the witnesses. In any case, such contingency can be taken care by imposing suitable condition. 4. In the result, the application is allowed. The applicant is directed to be released on bail, on furnishing of bail bonds of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) along with solvent surety bond to the satisfaction of the Court of Sessions and on further condition that he shall not enter Kallamb taluka until the Sessions trial is over. He shall furnish undertaking to such effect while furnishing the bail bonds before the Sessions Court. (V.R.KINGAONKAR) JUDGE gas/cri4246.10
