IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3565 OF 2009 Bhanudas Bhima Hake ..... ..... ...Applicant V/s The State of Maharashtra ..... ..... ..Respondent. Mr.M.B.Zanwar & P.G.Sarda, Adv. for the applicant. Mr.H.J.Dedhia, APP for the Respondent. CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 17th Sept., 2009. PC: Heard. This application is moved by the one Bhanudas Bhima Hake against whom offence under section 302 read with section 34 of IPC has been registered consequent upon FIR being lodged videin CR No. 405/08 with Nigdi police station, Pune. According to the prosecution one Ashok Patre was murdered on 18.12.08 by the present applicant and other co-accused. There are four eye witnesses by name Ankush Patre, Raju Patre and two watchmen by name Dnyaneshwar Rambhau Manu and Ashok Ramrao Hage. Perusal of statement of Ankush and Raju shows that prior to the commission of offence they were in the company of the deceased at which point of time there was quarrel between the accused and deceased and two of the accused by name Sunil Lakde and Anand Danane had forcibly taken the deceased along with them in a tempo whereas the present applicant has allegedly followed them on motor cycle. In regard to the actual incident it is deposed that the present applicant and the co-accused were hitting the deceased by stones and he was shouting. Statements of the watchmen 1 as well goes to substantiate the prosecution case about present applicant being involved in the commission of offence for the reason that the present applicant has been identified by said two watchmen who had seen the incident in question. Having regard to the totality of facts and circumstances it can be safely said that there is enough material on record to connect the applicant with serious crime. Hence in my opinion this is not fit case for grant of bail. Application stands rejected. 17.9.2009. 2
