CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE,J. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE,J. DATE : 10/10/2008 DATE : 10/10/2008 DATE : 10/10/2008 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No. 318 of 2008 of Mohol police station, Dist-Solapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having committed an offence punishable under sections 302,324, 504,506 read with 34 of IPC. It is alleged that when Dattatraya, the brother of the complainant Sidheshwar, was watering his crops the present applicant obstructed the flow of water by putting stones and at that time other three accused also rushed to the spot and then there was scuffle. It is further alleged that Sachin Dada Salgar, the co-accused, allegedly snatched the sickle from the hands of the present applicant, which she was holding at the relevant time, and assaulted the deceased. Counsel for the applicant claims that she was busy in agricultural operations at the relevant time and hence had a sickle in her hand. No overtact is attributed to the present applicant. There is no allegation against her stating that either she gave the sickle to Sachin or instigated the other accused to assault the deceased and others. Keeping the nature of allegations in view and considering that the main accused, who participated in the alleged assault, have been arrested and are in custody, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present applicant, who is 60 years old woman. Hence I pass the following order. 3. In the event of arrest, the applicant be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or two sureties to make the said amount, subject to the condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station every day till 25.10.2008 between 10 am and 11 am and thereafter on 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month for a period of 90 days from the date of her formal arrest or till filing of the chargesheet whichever is earlier. 4. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
