1 BA-919.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.919 OF 2011 {For Bail} Santosh @ Bapu Maruti Havale .... Applicant Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent Shri J.D. Mane for the Applicant. Ms S.D. Shinde, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: SEPTEMBER 07, 2011 P.C: This is an application for bail by a person who was last seen together with the victim. The decomposed body of the victim was found after some days. The post-mortem notes, report of histopathological examination and the report from the Forensic Science Laboratory do not give any clue as to what was the cause of death. The prosecution has come up with the theory that the applicant had strangulated the victim. In that case, there could be no occasion of any blood stains of the victim on the clothes of the applicant. Considering the nature of the evidence collected and since the 2 BA-919.11 investigation is complete and the charge-sheet has been filed, the applicant's being in custody pending trial may not be necessary. In view of this, the application is allowed. The applicant be released on bail in C.R. No.10 of 2011 of Madha Police Station, District Solapur on his furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the sum aggregating to Rs.50,000/-. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
