1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 2032 OF 2010 Sau. Chhaya Audumbar Bodake & ors...Applicants. Vs. The State of Maharashtra. ..Respondent. Mr. J.D.Mane for the Applicant. Mrs.A.A. Mane, APP. For the State. CORAM : R.S. MOHITE, J. DATE : 29th April, 2010 PC : 1 This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No. 34/2010 registered by Mangalwedha Police Station for the alleged offences punishable under Sections 302, 201 read with 34 of the I.P.C. The deceased is one Sukhdeo. It is the case of the prosecution that on 16.2.2010 at about 10.20 in the night the deceased came in the house of the complainant under the influence of liquor and caught hand of the applicant No.1 and dragged her to the northern side 2 of the house and attempted to commit rape upon her. The applicant No.2 could not tolerate this and attacked on the back side of the deceased with an axe and thereafter applicant No.1 also assaulted him by a sickle and hence, deceased died on the spot. It is the case where offence could possibly be reduced. It is also the case where right of self defence may be resorted too. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicants. It is therefore, directed that pending their trial in pursuance of C.R.No.34/2010 registered by Mangalwedha Police Station, the applicants may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/-each with one surety each in the like amount subject to the condition that they will report to the Investigating officer once in a week on every Monday between 11.00a.m. and 5.00p.m. till the charge sheet is filed and thereafter once in a fortnight on every first and third Monday s till the disposal of the trial. Bail is granted on further condition that they will not tamper with 3 the prosecution witnesses and will remain present on the dates of the trial unless exempted. Application is disposed off. 2 Parties to act on a copy of this order duly authenticated by the registry of this court. ( R.S. MOHITE, J.)
