The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.57 of 2008 of Thane Railway police station, Thane. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and four others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 395 and 397 of IPC. 3. It is the prosecution case that the complainant and the accused were travelling in a local train from Thane to Badlapur. It is alleged that all accused assaulted the complainant and robbed his belonging worth Rs.65,000/-, which consisted of gold ring, two gold chains and a mobile phone. 2 2 2 4. The investigation in this case is over and the charge-sheet has also been filed. The applicant came to be arrested in connection with this offence on 14th May, 2008. Insofar as the present applicant is concerned there is no recovery at his instance. He doesn’t have any criminal antecedents. Keeping this all in view and considering overall facts and circumstances of the case I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail on conditions. Hence the following order: . The applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.35,000/- with one or two sureties of the like amount subject to condition that he shall report to the concerned police station on every Wednesday and Saturday between 7 and 8 pm for a period of three months from today and thereafter on every Saturday between 7 and 8 pm till conclusion of the trial. The application is disposed of. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order. 3 3 3 (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
