1 BA-1464.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1464 OF 2011 {For Bail} 1. Bharat Dattaram Gogawale 2. Chandrakant Dattaram Gogawale 3. Dattaram Shambhu Gogawale 4. Namdev Rambhau Gogawale .... Applicants Vs. The State of Maharashtra .... Respondent S/Shri S.M. Oak with Sagar Joshi for the Applicants. Ms A.A. Mane, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: OCTOBER 11, 2011 P.C: 1. This is an application for bail by four persons whose involvement in an assault which led to the death of Ravindra was indicated only in the statements recorded on 1-6-2011, after the applicants filed an application for anticipatory bail. The incident took place on 13-5-2011. The first informant had specifically named three of the four applicants, namely, Namdev, Bharat and Chandrakant as having come to the village for a pooja. He did not tell 2 BA-1464.11 about their participation in the assault. He states that there was an altercation between the deceased Ravindra and co-accused Shiva. Shiva was under the influence of liquor and so was the victim. Shiva brought an electric wire cutter and cut at the neck of the victim. The victim died as a result of the injury sustained. 2. Considering the fact that though the first informant had given an elaborate FIR on 13-5-2011 and had not indicated the complicity of the applicants in the assault, as also the fact that investigation is complete and charge- sheet has been filed, the applicants' being at large is unlikely to prejudice a fair trial. 3. In view of the above, the applicants be released on bail in C.R. No.I-18/2011 of Mahad MIDC Police Station, District Raigad on their furnishing P.R. Bonds in the sum of `50,000/- each with one or more solvent sureties in the sum aggregating to `50,000/- per applicant. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
