ABA-646-11.sxw 1 Dixit IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION NO.646 OF 2011 Dagdu Dhondu Kutekar & Anr. ... Applicants V/s. The State of Maharashtra, Thru' Khed Police Station ... Respondent Mr. Anwar Landge, i/b. Mr. Harshad Bhadbhade, for the Applicants. Mrs. G.P. Mulekar, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM:- A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED :- 26 TH JULY, 2011. P.C. : 1. By consent, heard finally. 2. I have gone through the papers of investigation, which are produced by the Investigating Officer, who is present in Court. 3. The Applicants are sought to be arrested on the allegation of having committed offences punishable under Sections 376 IPC, 343 IPC read with Section 34 of the IPC. The case of the victim, as appearing from the F.I.R., is that she was in love with one Deepak - a co-accused and the son of the Applicant Nos.1 and 2. That as Deepak called her on 29th June, 2011, she left her house without informing her parents and met Deepak at Khed Mahad Naka. Deepak, thereafter, took her to his house, where he was residing with the Applicants. It appears that the victim and the said Deepak had physical ABA-646-11.sxw 2 Dixit relations between them during the period from 30th June, 2011 to 5th July, 2011. 4. Deepak has been arrested and is in custody. The Applicants are apprehending arrest and, therefore, have approached this Court for anticipatory bail. 5. It appears that the victim voluntarily left with Deepak. The role attributed to the Applicants is of allegedly aiding and assisting the said Deepak. 6. Considering the nature of allegations against them, I do not think that their custodial detention is essential. It is sufficient if they would be available to the Investigating Agency for the purposes of investigation. I am, therefore, inclined to grant anticipatory bail to them. 7. The Anticipatory Bail Application is allowed. 8. In the event of their arrest in C.R. No.118 of 2011 of Khed Police Station, the Applicants be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- each, with one surety in like amount, on the condition to attend the Khed Police Station and make themselves available for investigation/interrogation everyday, between 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., for a period of four days and, thereafter, as and when required by the Investigating Officer.
