1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 4210 OF 2009 Rafiq Imam Mulla & Ors. ...Applicants vs. The State of Maharashtra ...Respondent Mr.S.A. Ingwale for the Applicants. Mr.H.J. Dedhia, APP for the State. CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. DATED : DECEMBER 7, 2009 P.C. :- 1 Heard Counsel for the applicants and APP for the State. 2 The applicants are arrested in connection with an offence punishable under Sections 143, 147, 148, 302, 307 read with 34 of the IPC. 3 It is alleged that the applicants along 2 with others assaulted the deceased with swords, knife, sickle and other lethal weapons. There are as many as 21 incised injuries on the person of the deceased. 4 It is submitted that the name of the applicant nos.1 and 4 is not mentioned in the FIR. It is submitted that in the FIR it is mentioned that the deceased before dying had taken their name as the persons responsible for the death. It is submitted that there is discrepancy in the statements of witnesses. 5 It is not possible to accept the submission. Though the name of applicant nos.1 and 4 is not mentioned in the FIR, however, in the statement of other eye witnesses, specific role has been attributed to all the applicants herein. Looking at the nature of injuries and the manner in which the deceased was murdered and the material which is on record against the present applicants, 3 in my view, this is not a fit case for grant of bail. The application is rejected. 6 Counsel for the applicants submits that the applicants are in jail since last two years. 7 The trial, therefore, is expedited. (V.M. KANADE, J.)
