1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1099 OF 2010 1) Sameer Ishaque Aklekar ) 2) Musaddique Abdul Hamid Mithagre ) 3) Prashant Shivram Padvekar )..Applicants Vs. The State of Maharashtra )..Respondents ---- Mr. Iqbal Y. Solkar for the applicants. Smt. M. H. Mhatre APP for the State. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 29th March, 2010 PC 1 This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant along with several other persons are shown as accused in Sessions Case No.79 of 2008 for alleged offences under Sections 307, 143, 147, 148, 149 & 336 of IPC. The applicant was admittedly granted bail earlier but has been arrested in pursuance of the non bailable warrant on 8.1.2010. The Advocate for the applicants has shown me that on the earlier dates, two of the applicant was present and though one was absent, his exemption was granted. He contended that the applicants have been remaining present almost on all dates and one of the applicant being original accused no.93 was last absent in the year 2009. It appears that the Court has rejected bail because the charge could not be framed due to absence of the present applicants. The admitted position is that charges are now framed on 3.3.2010. Taking into account these facts, I am inclined to grant bail. It is therefore, directed that the applicants 2 may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- each with one surety each in the like amount subject to the condition that they will attend their trial regularly unless exempted and subject to the further condition that they will report to the I.O once a fortnight on every first and third Mondays till the application is disposed off.
