1 Cr.Appln.2954.2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 2954 OF 2010 Chatursing Gumansing Tak ..APPLICANT -VERSUS- The State of Maharashtra ..RESPONDENT ......... Mr. K.B. Jadhav, advocate for applicant. Mrs. B.R. Khekale, A.P.P. for respondent-State. ........ (CORAM : V.R.KINGAONKAR,J.) DATE : 8th September, 2010. PER COURT : 1. The applicant is seeking bail in connection with Crime No. 189/2009 registered at Majalgaon Police Station for the offence of dacoity and under the provisions of Arms Act. 2. The jeweler's shop was burgled in the wee hours of 16th September, 2009. The dacoits took away ornaments/jewelery valued at Rs.16,75,000/-. The information lodged in the very same morning shows that, the dacoits assaulted one Deelip Salunke and Tukaram Solunke by means of knives. They had ran away from the spot by boarding in `Omni brand Car Vehicle'. 3. On hearing the learned Advocate for the applicant and the learned A.P.P. and on going through the investigation papers, it prima 2 Cr.Appln.2954.2010 facie appears that during the investigation, the name of present applicant was revealed as prime accused. He was arrested during the course of combing operation. The most important thing to be noticed is that the Police recovered the gold ornaments worth Rs.12,49,067/- on basis of statement of the applicant under Section 27 of the Evidence Act. Needless to say that there is prima facie evidence to connect the applicant with the alleged crime. It appears that similar bail application filed by accused namely Niranjansing Dudhani is rejected by this Court on 19th April, 2010 (Criminal Application No.1283/2010). Considering these aspects and in view of the prima facie evidence about the involvement of the applicant in the serious crime, his release on bail may be detrimental to the interest of the society. 4. In the result, application is dismissed. (V.R.KINGAONKAR) JUDGE gas/cri2954.10
