DATED: AUGUST 23, 2011 P.C: This is an application for bail by a woman who had participated in an assault which led to the death of Laxman Maruti Patil. The applicant had not inflicted any blow on Laxman. She hit Laxman's son Santosh, the first informant, on his back. The two blows given by the applicant produced incised wounds on the back of the dimension of 3 x 1 x 1 cm. The learned counsel for the applicant points out that co-accused Sulochana and Baki, who allegedly held Santosh when the applicant inflicted the blows, have been admitted to bail. The learned APP submits that the 2 BA-681.11 applicant had in fact launched a murderous assault on the complainant and therefore could be said to have committed an offence punishable under Section 307 of the IPC and as such she is not entitled to bail. Considering the nature of the assault by the applicant on the first informant, as also the fact that Sulochana and Baki have been admitted to bail, as also the fact that investigation is complete and charge- sheet has been filed, the applicant be released on bail in C.R. No.I-361/2011 of Navin Panvel Police Station, Raigad on her furnishing P.R. Bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the sum aggregating to Rs. 25,000/-.
