1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD. CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1819 OF 2009. Chainsing s/o Bhojiram Gusinge ...Applicant. Versus The State of Maharashtra & another. ...Respondents. ... Mr.S.B.Talekar, Advocate for the applicant. Mr.J.S.Gavane, APP for the respondents. ... CORAM: A.V.NIRGUDE,J. Date : 17th June, 2009. COURT'S ORDER: 1. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in Crime No.7/2009 registered with Pishor Police Station, Taluka: Kannad, Dist.Aurangabad, for the offence punishable under Section 3(1)(10) the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. 2. Perused the complaint. The complainant is a 2 Police Patil of village Bhildari, Taluka: Kannad, Dist.Aurangabad. He alleged that at 02.30 p.m. On 26th May, 2009, the incident took place in front of Grampanchayat Office of village Pishor. He alleged that the applicant abused him on the basis of his caste and threatened him that he would engage hirelings to kill him. He, however, did not say that the applicant actually assaulted him or caused any injury. But this complaint was lodged at police station on 2nd of June, 2009. There is no explanation as to why the complainant delayed filing of the complaint. The fact that he is the Police Patil of his village would militate against the delay. The delay in such circumstances, makes the allegation suspicious. There is possibility of false implication. I am, therefore, inclined to release the applicant on anticipatory bail even though he is accused of alleging offence punishable under Section 3(1)(10) of the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities ) Act, 1989. i) In the event of his arrest in this case, the applicant shall be released on bail of Rs.5000/- (Rs. Five Thousand only), with one surety in the like amount. 3. In view of this order, Mr.S.B.Talekar, learned Advocate for the applicant does not press the application for rest of the reliefs. The application 3 stands disposed of. 4. A copy of this order duly authenticated by Court Shirastedar, be made available to the parties. (A.V.NIRGUDE,J.) lkp.
