jpc ba666-11.sxw 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL BAIL APPLICATION NO.666 OF 2011 Sandesh @ Pappu Ramchandra Gite ... Applicant Versus The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr. Ashish Sawant i/by Mr. A. R. Kapadnis for the applicant Mr. K. V. Saste, APP for the State CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 7th July, 2011. P.C. : 1. Heard Mr. Sawant, the learned advocate for the applicant and Mr. Saste, the learned APP for the State. 2. I have gone through the bail application and the annexures thereto. 3. The main contention, advanced by Mr. Sawant, is that no intention to cause death of the victim can be attributed to the applicant. He further submits that admittedly, there was history to the incident and the incident arose because of some previous fights between the group of the applicant and the group of the victim. 4. Without going into the question as to whether the intention or knowledge, requisite for constituting the offence in question, as one punishable under Section 307 of the Indian Penal Code is, prima facie, disclosed, it may be observed that even the offence punishable under jpc ba666-11.sxw 2 Section 326 of the I.P.C. is a serious one. The weapon, allegedly used by the applicant, is undoubtedly a dangerous weapon. 5. I am Informed that one case in respect of the offence punishable under section 324 of the I.P.C. is pending against the applicant. 6. I have considered the matter. The applicant is in custody since 27th May, 2010. The learned advocate for the applicant states that the applicant is a young person of 23 years and that he would abide by any conditions which this Court may think as proper to impose, while releasing him on bail. 7. Considering all the relevant aspects of the matter, more particularly the fact that the applicant is in custody for a period of more than one year, I am inclined to release him on bail subject to certain conditions. 8. The applicant is ordered to be released on bail in the sum of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand) with one surety in like amount, on the condition that he shall report to Sahakar Nagar Police Station, every Sunday between between 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. till disposal of the case against him. 9. The trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and endeavour to complete it as early as possible. (A.M. THIPSAY, J.)
