By this application, the applicant seeks bail in connection with C.R. No. 108 of 2009 registered at Vadgaon Police Station, District Kolhapur, for an alleged offence punishable under sections 143, 147, 149, 452, 393, 332 of the I.P.C. and sections 3 and 4 of the Prevention 2 of Damage to the Public Properties Act. 2. Learned A.P.P. states that investigation is almost complete and the charge-sheet would soon be filed. There are in all 22 accused including the present applicant. Nineteen of the 22 accused have been released on bail by two separate orders passed by the Sessions Court. The material available against the applicant is not different than the material available against the 19 accused who have been released on bail. In the circumstance, in my view, the applicant is entitled to bail on parity. Hence, I pass the following order: ORDER The applicant be released on bail on his executing a personal bond of Rs.15,000/- with one surety of the like amount subject to a condition that the applicant shall not threaten any of the prosecution witnesses and shall attend the concerned police station twice a 3 week till the filing of the charge-sheet and thereafter once a month between 1st and 5th day of every British calendar month.
