Applicant Versus The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr. P. G.Sarda, for the applicant Mr. J. P. Kharge, APP for the State CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 4th August, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard Mr. Sarda, the learned advocate for the applicant and Mr. Kharge, the learned APP for the State. 2. I have gone through the bail application and the copy of the charge-sheet annexed thereto. 3. The applicant and two others, who are sons of the applicant, are alleged to have committed murder of one Ravindra Kshirsagar. In the first information report, which has been lodged by an eye witness to the incident of assault, the presence of the applicant on the spot is not spoken about. It is only in the supplementary statement, recorded on the next date, that the presence of the applicant at the scene of the incident, as one of the assailants is mentioned. The role attributed to the jpc ba1108-11.sxw 2 applicant is that she put 'mirchi powder' on the body of the victim- Ravindra, when the assault on him was going on. However, the independent eye witnesses have not spoken about the presence of the applicant at the time of the incident. The applicant has been named only by the persons who are related to the deceased. 4. Considering all the relevant aspects of the matter, including the role attributed to the applicant and the fact that she is a woman, as also the fact that both of her sons are in custody, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail. 5. The application is allowed. 6. The applicant is ordered to be released on bail in the sum of Rs. 30,000/- (Rupees thirty thousand) with one surety in like amount, or two sureties in the sum of Rs.15,000/- each. (A.M. THIPSAY, J.)
