The State of Maharashtra. ...Respondent Mr.Umesh Mankapure for Applicants. Ms.S.D. Shinde, APP for the State. CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. CORAM : V.M. KANADE, J. DATED : FEBRUARY 8, 2006 DATED : FEBRUARY 8, 2006 DATED : FEBRUARY 8, 2006 P.C. :- P.C. :- P.C. :- . Heard learned Counsel for the applicants and learned APP for the State. . This is an application for bail filed by the applicants who are charged for having committed an offence under Sections 307, 353 read with Section 34 of the IPC and under Sections 3, 27 and 25 of the Explosive Substance Act which is registered at Kurlap Police Station, Sangli. 2. It is alleged that the applicants have criminal antecedents and the police received a tip that they stayed in a hut which was situated at a particular spot - 2 - and accordingly, the police officers went to the place to apprehend the applicants. However, the applicants fired at the police officers from their revolvers, however, the police escaped unhurt. The country made revolver was recovered. 3. The learned Counsel for the applicants submits that the story as made out by the complainant is improbable and the applicants had been implicated in a false case. 4. It is not possible to accept the submission made by the applicants as this is the second application for bail. The first application was filed in this Court was allowed to be withdrawn without the applicants’ Counsel making any statement on merits. Thereafter, the present application has been filed. Though it is alleged that the applicants are in jail since 19th September, 2004, considering the fact that the applicants are history sheeters as submitted by the learned APP, in my view, this is not a fit case for grant of bail. The Sessions Court has already expedited the hearing of the case. In - 3 - my view, the ends of justice would be met if the Sessions Court is directed to decide the Sessions case, as expeditiously as possible. . Application for bail is rejected. (V.M. KANANDE, J.)
