DATE : 15th April, 2008. DATE : 15th April, 2008. DATE : 15th April, 2008. P.C.: P.C.: P.C.: 1. Heard learned Counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in connection with C.R.No.121 of 2005 registered with Sahakarnagar Police Station, Pune for the offences punishable under Sections 143, 147,148,149, 307 of Indian Penal Code and Section 4(25) of Arms Act. 3. The trial Court rejected bail application of the applicant mainly on the ground that he did not appear on 10.08.2007 and, therefore, the order of N.B.W. passed against him. However, despite of that fact, he did not appear on 28.08.2007. However, the explanation furnished by the applicant is that he reached late on 10.08.2007. By that time, the case was heard and adjourned. On the next date of hearing, he was required to move an application for exemption since he wanted to go to Surat. 4. Explanation furnished by the applicant appears to be probable. The learned A.P.P. is not in a position to contradict the statements made. In these circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant, subject to the following conditions: (a) The applicant, arrested in connection with C.R.No.121 of 2005 registered with Sahakarnagar Police Station, Pune shall be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or two local sureties to make up the said amount. (b) The applicant shall report to the concerned Police Station once in a week, i.e. on every Saturday between 4.00 and 6.00 p.m. till conclusion of the trial. He shall co-operate with the investigating agency for disposal of the case. (c) The order of bail will be given effect only after the applicant furnishes to the investigating officer the details about his place of residence and address where he proposes to stay after he is enlarged on bail. The applicant will not change his residential address thereafter till the conclusion of trial without prior intimation to the investigating officer. (d) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly, make any inducement or threat or pressurise any prosecution witnesses and shall not in any manner tamper with the prosecution evidence. (e) It is needless to mention that breach of any of the conditions by the applicant shall result in cancellation of bail. (f) Any observation made in this order shall not be construed as finding or expression on merits of the case at the time of trial. 5. The learned Counsel appearing for the applicant has given an undertaking that he will not remain absent on any of the dates in trial Court and attend the trial regularly. 6. Application stands disposed of accordingly. (V.C. DAGA, J.) (V.C. DAGA, J.) (V.C. DAGA, J.)
