DATED : 26TH NOVEMBER, 2008. DATED : 26TH NOVEMBER, 2008. DATED : 26TH NOVEMBER, 2008. 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.270 of 2007 of Fauzdar Chawadi police station, Solapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and 11 others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 302, 307, 143, 147, 148, 149, 323, 504, 506 of IPC and section 25(4) of the Indian Arms Act and section 135 of the Bombay Police Act. I have perused the FIR and the statements of other witnesses and more particularly the statement of Riyaz Inamdar. There is no allegation against the applicant having assaulted the deceased. The only role attributed to the applicant is that he alongwith 2 2 2 Asif Yusuf Vijapure and Maulani Ibrahim Shaikh pelted stones at the relevant time which caused injuries to some of the witnesses. Asif Vijapure and Maulani Shaikh have already been granted bail by the Sessions Court. In view thereof Mr.Purwant, learned counsel for the applicant prayed for bail on parity. Learned A.P.P. fairly stated that there is no difference in the role assigned to the present applicant and to Asif Vijapure and Maulani Shaikh. In the circumstances I am inclined to grant this application for bail. Hence the following order: . The applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.30,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station once in a week 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 without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
