Mr.A.P.Mundergi, Sr.Advocate with H.Mundergi for the Applicant. Mr.A.S.Gadkari, APP.for the State. Mr.S.P. Hulyalkar for the original complainant. CORAM : R.S. MOHITE, J. DATE : 23RD March, 2010 PC : 1 This is an application filed by the applicant for grant of regular bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C. R. No.89/2009 registered by Dattawadi Police Station for alleged offences under Sections-302, 143, 146, 147,148 and 149 of the I.P.C. The incident in question took place on 7.7.2009 and during the incident deceased Ganesh Kamble was assaulted by several persons. There are also eye witnesses to the incident and 2 the admitted position is that the present applicant does not appear to have been present at the spot when Gamesh Kambe was attacked and killed. Police have added Section 109 of the I.P.C.. On enquiry as to what is the nature of abetment, the learned APP states that from the statement of the complainant Mahesh Kamble there appears to be strong political motive. Alleged political motive may at the most raise suspicion. Prima facie there may not be sufficient material to bring home the charge of abetment. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant. Pending his trial in C.R.No.89/2009 registered by Dattawadi Police Station, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that he should report to the Investigating Officer every week on every Monday between 11.00 a.m. and 3.00p.m. till the conclusion of the trial. Application is disposed off. ( R.S. MOHITE, J.)
