1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MUMBAI CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.2376 OF 2009 Rajesh Murgesh Shettiyar .. Applicant. Vs. State of Maharashtra .. Respondents. Ms.Mallika A.Ingale for the applicant. Mr.K.V.Saste A.P.P. for the State. Coram: D.B. BHOSALE, J. Dated : 6TH JULY, 2009 P.C. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.179 of 2008 of M.H.B. Colony police station, Borivali. The crime has been registered against the applicant and seven others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 452, 395, 396, 397, 398, 412 of IPC r/w section 7 of Indian Arms Act. 3. Ms.Ingale, learned counsel for the applicant, at the outset submits that the applicant was not a person who actually participated in commission of the offence of dacoity with murder of Shankar Seth and with attempt to cause death of the complainant. She further submits that the four accused including one Shekhar, who actually committed the offence, 2 have already been released on bail. According to the prosecution, the co-accused – Shekhar handed over the stolen property to the present applicant which, the applicant, in turn, sold to the jwellers. Learned A.P.P. does not dispute the submissions of the learned counsel for the applicant. In view thereof I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail, hence the following order: Applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with two local sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every Wednesday and Saturday between 6 pm and 7 pm for a period of three months and thereafter on every Saturday between 6 pm and 7 pm till conclusion of the trial. 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 uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
