* 1 * ABA.403.2011 4.7.2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION NO. 403 OF 2011 Sou. Hemlata Babu Badekar & anr. .... Applicant V/S. The State of Maharashtra ....Respondent ***** Mr. Vijay Killedar, Advocate for the applicant. Mrs. A.A.Mane, APP for State. CORAM :- Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J. 4th July, 2011. P.C. :- 1. This is a second application for anticipatory bail, the first application being rejected by the Sessions Court by its order dated 20th April, 2011. Mr. Killedar states that he is pressing the application only on behalf of applicant no.1 since applicant no.2 has already been relesed on bail, he having been found to be minor. Applicant no.1 seeks anticipatory bail in connection with Crime No.106 of 2011 registered with Loni-Kalbhor Police Station for the offences punishable * 2 * ABA.403.2011 4.7.2011 under Sections 326, 324, 143, 147, 148, 149, 504, 506 Indian Penal Code. 2. The allegations contained in the complaint against applicant no. 1 are that she alongwith her three sons and 10 to 15 persons formed an unlawful assembly on 21st March, 2011 at about 11.30 a.m. and attacked the complainant and his companions, using deadly weapons, like swords. One of the persons accompanying the complainant sustained serious injuries on account of the use of sword. The specific role in the rioting assigned to applicant no.1 was of throwing chilli powder at persons from the rival group. The place of rioting was the ground of weekly bazaar of the Gram Panchayat. 3. The incident of assault as also the use of weapons has not been denied by applicant no.1. Undisputedly, there is political rivalry between the two groups. There are specific allegations of use of swords, wooden log in the attack. The weapons are yet to be recovered. Though, it has been argued that the role of applicant no.1 in the complaint is a minor role, she is alleged to have used chilli powder in the assault. It cannot be lost sight of the fact that applicant no.1 was part of the group which assaulted the rival group with the use of dangerous weapons like swords. There are serious injuries * 3 * ABA.403.2011 4.7.2011 sustained by the members of the rival group. In these circumstances, in my opinion, this is not a case where the court should exercise its extra-ordinary power of grant of anticipatory bail. It is open for applicant no.1 to apply for regular bail similar to other accused persons. The application is dismissed. [SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA, J]
